Ending Profiling

Racial & religious profiling violates our nation's fundamental promise of affording everyone equal justice under law. Biased policing also makes us all less safe because it wastes resources and misleads law enforcement authorities away from focusing on real threats. Simply put, racial & religious profiling is discriminatory, ineffective, and poor policy.

Biased policing concerns emerged long before the 9/11 attacks, primarily in the context of local police targeting African American and Latino drivers whose only offense was "driving while black or brown." Since 9/11, racial & religious profiling has come to especially victimize the Muslim, Arab, Middle Eastern and South Asian communities, all of which have endured disproportionate scrutiny from law enforcement.

Muslim Advocates' Campaign to End Racial & Religious Profiling (RRP) is modeled on the efforts of other Americans who have successfully sought to defend their rights. The Campaign's main components include impact litigation, policy advocacy, and community education.
