**ACTION ALERT**URGE THE PRESIDENT TO KEEP HIS PROMISE TO PROTECT ZAKAT!CALL THE WHITE HOUSE ON FRIDAY, JUNE 4th
On June 4, 2009, in Cairo , Egypt , President Obama made a historic speech promising American Muslims to remove significant hurdles to zakat:
-- President Barack Obama
This June 4th, Muslim Advocates is urging Muslims across the country to call the White House and tell President Obama to keep his promise and reform the many federal laws complicating our ability to give zakat freely. Did you know?
The federal government continues to target Muslim donors and charities for investigation and prosecution, while other faith communities give without fear. This is wrong and must change. Together, we must make our voices heard.
ON JUNE 4th MAKE THE CALL!
1) Make the Call: On the one-year anniversary of the President's Cairo commitment, call the White House at 202.456.1111 and ask President Obama to keep his promise to protect zakat!
2) Share this Action Alert: Forward this action alert to your family, friends, and community listservs. Post it on facebook and twitter. Urge your network to be part of this national call-in day!
