"New York is home to one of the largest Muslim communities in the country, and I am proud to welcome the Office of the Attorney General's first-ever Director of Muslim Affairs to work with Muslim communities across the state," said AG James.
"This new role will help my office ensure that Muslim New Yorkers' voices are heard, their needs are met, and their rights are protected," James added.
"The new role, created by James, comes at a time when Islamophobia and anti-Arab hate is on the rise," highlighting the importance of the newly established position.
"This position is part of the OAG's Intergovernmental Affairs team, which focuses on connecting with New York's diverse communities, including Latino, Jewish, Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI), and LGBTQ+ communities."
