On May 31, 2012, the Philadelphia Bar Association passed its “Resolution Affirming Religious Freedom” opposing PA House Bill 2029 titled “American Laws for American Courts.” The resolution was presented by CAIR-Philadelphia Civil Rights Director Amara Chaudhry, acting in her capacity as Vice Chair of the Bar Association’s Public Interest Section.
Amara traveled to Harrisburg on Monday at the request of state lawmakers to discuss the Muslim community’s concerns with the bill.
