For six years, NAAP has labored to unite and empower the Arab-American community throughout the nation. Through these efforts, along with the support of our fellow Arab-American organizations we have collectively inspired mobilization within the Arab-American community.
This, of course, is only the beginning of our efforts and we need to elevate our level of organizing within both the Arab-American community and broader American society to translate our collective voices into tangible actions and results.
We must assert our place in the American spectrum as a richly diverse community with a strong and unified voice. Let us embrace our diversity and use it to forge ahead and affect positive change; it is time to proclaim our Arabicity*!
* What is Arabicity!!
Arabicity - The expression of one's Arab heritage through individual effort and collective action to further the Arab-American community within the greater American landscape.
The program for the 2007 NAAP National Conference will fully incorporate this overarching concept. Click here for program details.
