Event Info

As a new administration takes office in the midst of a global pandemic and deep divides, a new generation of Arab activists is expanding its political reach through education and organizing in Brooklyn and beyond. They’re pursuing leadership roles and activating an Arab voter base to increase the community’s influence and engagement about the issues they stand for — whether it’s immigration and affordable housing, or vaccine equity and criminal justice reform.

As part of our #BHeard Amplified initiative, we are hosting a town hall discussion about the biggest challenges facing the Arab community in the U.S. today and the future of activism for the nearly 4 million population.
