Advocating Justice for All
Established by the Islamic Circle of North America, CSJ enters the social justice/human rights arena in America to cooperate with existing efforts and organize new initiatives when appropriate.
Standing for the Rights of the Poor and Oppressed
ICNA Council for Social Justice (CSJ) is a social justice/human rights organization that strives to systematically facilitate assertive Muslim involvement in the field of human struggle for the rights of the poor and oppressed in the United States.
We work to eliminate barriers to full citizenship rights and privileges, restore civil liberties required for a democratic society, and raise public awareness to remove the gross inequities of the US criminal justice system.
