“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.”
Michigan, a key swing state, is home to the nation’s largest Arab American population. At a meeting of community leaders in Dearborn last month, a dozen men gathered around a conference table, sipping Turkish tea and nibbling on savory sambusas and Yemeni sweets.
