"Today at sundown, Muslim communities in America and around the world joyfully welcome the Holy Month of #Ramadan. Each year, the emergence of the new moon brings a season of self-reflection, spiritual renewal and gratitude for life's blessings.

For generations, America's large and diverse Muslim communities have been essential to our nation's success: whether serving on the frontlines of the pandemic, advancing the fight against injustice in our communities or enriching our cultural tapestry.

Despite the invaluable contributions of Muslim Americans, Islamophobia continues to threaten our Muslim communities and undermine Americans' most cherished national values, with hate crimes against Muslims on the rise in recent years.

The House has taken action to combat religious & racial discrimination, passing the NO BAN Act & Access to Counsel Act last year to protect civil rights & prevent executive abuses of authority. We must honor our nation's promise & send religious bigotry to the dustbin of history.

As we continue to grapple with ongoing challenges, Ramadan serves as a powerful reminder to embrace the values of charity, selflessness and compassion for others. #RamadanMubarak to all who celebrate, and may this month bring peace and blessings to all."
