“The primary objective of the ADC-RI Media Research Project is to research, track, and document anti-Arab and Islamophobic bias in the media, public discourse, and from public officials. This tracking project will serve as a resource tool which will highlight the prevalence of bias and bigotry. The project will expose xenophobia and hatred that target minorities in the U.S., particularly Arab and Muslim Americans.
The project will also celebrate achievements of Arabs and Muslims from around the world.”
Pro-Palestinian organizers shut down the Bay Bridge during the morning commute in Oakland on Thursday. The group was organized by the Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC) in the Bay Area. The group blocked the roadway of the bridge with cars, lined up across the width of the bridge, and chanted “What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now.”
