Dear friends,
As this powerful season of hope, mindfulness, and reflection nears completion, we are reminded of the necessity of our groundbreaking work and the humble origins that continue to motivate it's daily execution.
Since our inception, we have endured challenges and navigated uncertainty through administration, policy, economic and social changes as a reflection of the remarkably resilient communities we serve.
The individuals in our community and their families need you.
With the
ACCESS 54th Anniversary Dinner on the horizon, we hope you will
purchase a ticket to
accompany us as we gather in unity and commitment to on another -- and to continue the tradition of honoring our esteemed
Arab American of the year, Dr. Rami Nashashibi, with a coveted Tunisian plate (see the story behind this in the video).
As a Palestinian American community activist, academic, artist, and founding Executive Director of Chicago-based nonprofit Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN), his work has been instrumental in advancing social justice and enriching Arab American culture as a whole.
