Register for the 2013 ADC National Convention (June 13-16)

ADC-ConventionLogoFinalEvery year, more than 1,000 movers and shakers come together in DC to organize the Arab American community and advocate for our rights. Don’t you want to be one of them?

Meet with the White House and Congress, get to know other Arab Americans, learn about ADC’s efforts and achievements, and help shape our priorities. This year’s theme “It Starts with You” is a simple but profound statement reflecting how ADC exists for you, and has no purpose without you. The success of our work is largely determined by your participation and involvement.

The success of the convention is largely determined by your participation and involvement. Registration is required to attend… so sign up today!

ADC is a proud sponsor of this event!

Join American Friends of UNRWA (AFU) on Saturday, June 8, 2013 for our 2nd annual Gaza Solidarity 5K run/walk to support the kids of Gaza!

Pre-race breakfast and race day packet pickup starts at 7:00am and closes at 7:45am. The 5K starts at 8:00am. Please arrive no later than 7:45am as park police will begin shutting down the roads for the race at 7:45.

*************************************************

Over 300 men, women, and children came out to run, jog, and walk for the children of Gaza at the first annual Gaza Solidarity 5K. Together we raised over $50,000, allowing us to provide 1,200 children in Gaza with critically needed summertime counseling through the UN Relief and Work’s Agency for Palestine Refugee’s (UNRWA) Community Mental Health Program. This year, we hope to do even more at the 2013 Gaza Solidarity 5K! So lace up your running (or walking) shoes, and join the movement to get moving for the kids in Gaza!

Arab American Service Day 2013

Arab-American-Service-Day-2013

Under the motto “Serving Communities, Connecting People”, each year thousands of Arab Americans join together to create positive change in their communities. While the service projects in each city are unique, the event is a true testimony that Arab Americans are giving back and joining together to serve their neighborhoods.

This year, AAI, ADC, and NAAP-DC will be working together to organize two projects in the DC area: one at The Farm on the Walker-Jones Education Campus and another at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Alexandria.

Participants of all ages are welcome! Click here to sign up 

Please direct questions about ReStore to Fatima Ahmed at fatima.ahmed1@gmail.com and those about The Farm to Jennine Vari at jvari@aaiusa.org or Marielle Costanza at mcostanza@adc.org.
