Story by Isabel Vincent • 12h
A Muslim civil rights group that federal lawmakers described as having “deep ties to terrorist organizations,” has emerged as one of the biggest single backers to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign, according to public records.
The Unity and Justice Fund political action committee, which gave the Democratic Socialist frontrunner $120,000 is linked to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim nonprofit in the US, campaign filings show.
The Unity and Justice PAC, which has offices in Sacramento and Washington, shares addresses and personnel with CAIR, according to the Federal Election Commission and Open Secrets, a government transparency group that tracks money in politics.
CAIR’s leaders denied they have any organizational ties to the other groups to The Post Tuesday, but declined to comment further.
Another PAC linked to the California chapter of CAIR — Unity Lab PAC — gave $23,500 to Mamdani’s PAC on September 16, according to campaign finance filings.
Unity Lab lists Tasneem Manjra as its president. Manjra is also listed as the communications contact for the Sacramento chapter of CAIR.
