CAIR’s dinner, which in past years had sold-out crowds of more than 1,000, will feature addresses by Representative-elect Ellison (D-MN) and Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) and Albert Wynn (D-MD).
Other speakers at the event include a representative of the FBI and Amy Goodman of Democracy Now. Attendees will include many Muslim and interfaith leaders, diplomats from Muslim nations and American Muslim community activists.

Ellison won Tuesday’s election in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District by a more than two-to-one margin. He will be the first American Muslim to hold elected office at the national level.
“We are honored to have the first American Muslim elected to Congress offer his first major address during our annual banquet,” said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad.
