“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.”
Lara Kiswani, a Palestinian American and executive director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, which provides legal services and support to Palestinians in the Bay Area, called the ceasefire a “long overdue reprieve” from destruction. She said she is relieved that Gazans can now begin the difficult work of rebuilding.
