I know you are as troubled, and heartbroken as we are by the continued devastation in Palestine and the escalating situation in Lebanon. We are all horrified by the attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure and call on the Biden administration to use its leverage with Israel to secure an immediate ceasefire as it is the ONLY life-saving solution.

To help us understand this moment and how we may help the Lebanese people, we are bringing together a panel of experts, including many in Lebanon, for analysis and discussion. We hope you will join us Tomorrow Tuesday, October 1, at 1 pm ET for an Arab American Town Hall on Lebanon . Register here. [[link removed]]

We will be joined by:

Daizy Gedeon (Filmmaker);

Imad Harb (Arab Center);

Rami Khouri (American University of Beirut);

Paul Salem (Middle East Institute);

Paula Yacoubian (Member, Parliament of Lebanon); and

Mohamad Bazzi (jounalist)

If you want to make a timely donation in support of Lebanon, please consider the following organizations which are both actively responding to the immediate needs of displaced families in Lebanon.
