California’s State Assembly has taken a strong stand against a
rising climate of Islamophobia in America.
On Monday, the Assembly
passed a resolution that declared August 2016 as Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month , as part of an effort to acknowledge the “myriad invaluable contributions of Muslim Americans in California and across the country.”
The resolution (
HR-59) was introduced by Assemblymember Bill Quirk and passed with bipartisan support, according to
NBC.
