Dear Friend,

In an election year that brings with it increased demand for your civic & political engagement, the Arab American Institute is proud to present our annual invite-only?Arab American Leadership Days. <[link removed]>Arab American Leadership Days will provide the most up-to-date information on key policy issues and strengthen your advocacy skills as we prepare to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.??

Please join AAI, our partners---the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), National Network for Arab American Communities (NNAAC), and Network of Arab American Professionals (NAAP)---and dozens of Arab American leaders from across the country for two days of training, collaboration, and advocacy on the Hill.

Tuesday, April 14
Omni Shoreham Hotel
9:00am - 5:00pm

Wednesday, April 15
Capitol Hill
9:30am - 10:30am
with individual meetings to follow

Our first day's programming will include expert briefings on a variety of issues important to our community, including humane?immigration?policies, the 2020 Census, justice for Palestine, combatting hate crime, and more. On day two, we will convene on Capitol Hill to meet with Members' offices, and---given that it is a presidential election year---we are inviting the?presidential campaigns to send surrogates.?

Leadership Days is scheduled to coincide with the 22nd AnnualKahlil Gibran Spirit of Humanity Awards Gala <[link removed]>. Tickets for the conference are only made available as an add-on with tickets to the Gibran Awards Gala <[link removed]>.
