“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.”
Harik is one of two dozen business owners of Mena heritage who are now certified through the nascent ADC Business Council’s minority certification program launched by the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in July 2023.
