CALL SCRIPT

“Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I live in [City or ZIP Code]. I’m calling to express urgent concern about the deportation proceedings against Imam Ayman a deeply respected religious leader and community figure in Cincinnati.

Imam Ayman was granted asylum years ago and has followed every rule—he has no criminal record and has given so much to this community, including serving as the first official Islamic chaplain at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Now, his asylum has been suddenly revoked with no explanation, and he has just been detained by ICE. If he’s deported to Egypt, he faces serious danger, even death, due to his political activism.

Our community stands behind Imam Ayman, and we’re asking [Official’s Name] to urgently step in, advocate for his case, and prevent this injustice from moving forward.

Please take immediate action to help. Thank you.”

SAMPLE MESSAGE

Subject: Please Advocate for Former Chaplain Imam Ayman Soliman

Dear Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Leadership,

I am writing to urge you to publicly support Imam Ayman Soliman, who previously served your institution as a chaplain. Imam Ayman was recently detained by ICE and is currently being held in Butler County Jail.

He served your patients, families, and staff with great care and compassion during times of crisis. His unjust detention has shocked and hurt many of us in the community who know the vital role he played.

We are asking Cincinnati Children’s to:

  • Issue a public statement calling for his release

  • Acknowledge his contributions as a member of your spiritual care team

  • Stand with the community in calling for justice

Your public support at this time would show that Cincinnati Children’s stands by those who have served with dignity and compassion.

Sincerely,


[Your Name]
[City, Organization, or Affiliation if applicable]
