Accurate race & ethnicity data are essential. But data collection must be improved – including with a new, discrete ethnic category for people from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
We spoke with @iMayaBerry and @nedasoc about why it matters.civilrights.org/blog/why-a-m…

Thrilled about MI but I will remember election for a young mayor showing leadership by rejecting bigotry masked as concern for kids. TY @AHammoudMI! Dearborn is lucky to have you. I know we have much to do but many of us are #ArabAmerican or #AmericanMuslim & an #EqualityVoter.

Waking up to the news on the trifecta in Michigan - state house, state senate, and governor. First time in 40 years!
I have massive #FOMO right now for this upcoming legislature!

When you are the people being resilient, the word often takes on a different feeling--and not always a good one. Watching this man at the end, all these Palestinian heroes honoring the hero that was #ShireenAbuAkleh, they define the power of resilience. #FreePalestine

Palestinians are regularly killed by Israel without consequence. That is part of the brutal occupation and the fact that Palestinian human life is not protected is reprehensible. In the case of Shireen, important to note she is second American citizen killed by Israel this year.

After two days of denying & lying about who shot Palestinian American #ShireenAbuAkleh, Israel moves to the obfuscation phase of hasbara w/ an “oops! Maybe it was us.” They’ll dart & dodge like this hoping hoping the story’ll go away. Israel must be held accountable

This isn’t the work that @abdallah_fayyad was recognized for as a Pulitzer Finalist but it’s worth a read. A Palestinian from Sheikh Jarrah was honored today with journalism’s most prestigious award for a series on presidential corruption. Goosebumps. bostonglobe.com/2021/05/21/o…

Mabrouk to @abdallah_fayyad and his colleagues at @BostonGlobe for being named a finalist by the @PulitzerPrizes for his reporting on “Future-proofing the Presidency.” This is the type of journalism our democracy needs. #ArabAmericansLead

My Dearborn, MI (home to highest concentration of #ArabAmericans in country) made history today by electing an amazing public servant as mayor. 35 years after we were deemed "Arab problem," @AHammoudMI is the young, smart leader Dearborn needs today. So proud. #ArabAmericansLead
