Demand SFUSD Implement Eid Muslim Holiday

Take action against racism and Islamophobia!

The San Francisco Board Unified School District (SFUSD) has once again turned their back on Arab and Muslim families, caving to racist lawfare and backlash. Despite massive outrage, with over 80 prominent organizations across the US, and over 2,200 individual emails demanding they follow through on their commitment to implement the Eid holiday, SFUSD plans on voting tomorrow to approve a school calendar that does not include Eid.

This morning, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) and AROC informed San Francisco Unified School District that our own litigation will commence if the SFUSD fails to honor the resolution which it passed.

But the District can still make good on its commitment and amend the school calendar tomorrow to include Eid!
