(Courtesy of CAIR-Los Angeles) ExpandThe multicultural event in Los Angeles brought together Muslims from across Southern California to celebrate their diversity and economic contributions, looking forward to what’s next.
The festival featured over 70 global marketplace vendors, halal food stalls, consulate and community booths representing cultures from around the Muslim world, organizers said. Attendees spoke languages from Arabic and Pashto, to Malay, Indonesian and Urdu. Cultural performances, demonstrations and a business expo showcased Muslim talent and Muslim-owned businesses.
Younger CAIR-LA members and students also joined those across the state in late April for the first part of Muslim Day at the Capitol, where they traveled to Sacramento to meet with legislators and advocate for key policies affecting their community, including ethnic studies and demographic inclusion. They will return on May 12 for Advocacy Day.
Organizers hope to bring back the Global Muslim Village and Business Expo annually, dedicated to empowering the Muslim community by showcasing businesses, entrepreneurs and organizations from around the world.
