An effort to address the issue of Muslim-owned liquor stores and the general proliferation of alcohol outlets in poor communities. Well over 80% of the 350 liquor stores in Oakland are owned or operated by “Muslims.” This march and rally is a mobilization of our community to send a strong message that we are outraged by the destructive and misrepresentative actions of our coreligionists and that we join allies from other groups in the struggle to create healthy and enriching neighborhoods. It is one step of many that are being and will be taken to affect a long-term and lasting redress of this issue.
