The title of Muslim Day at the Capitol this year says a lot: Action Trumps Fear.
More than 700 people are expected to turn out for the sixth annual event hosted by the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Organizers expect higher engagement within the Muslim community than past years largely due to President Donald Trump.
