#Today, we helped lead a discussion in front of the Orange County Board of Supervisors staff and their Counsel about the MENA Population In OC.
Today we were at the Orange County Islamic Foundation to encourage our community to vote and pledge to vote in the upcoming November elections. In these challenging times, it's easy to feel disillusioned by a system that seems to have turned its back on justice, particularly when we see the horrific violence against innocent people in Gaza. But today, we witnessed something extraordinary. Despite the pain, the frustration, and the deep-seated disappointment in the current state of affairs, our community came together with determination and hope. Many of you have pledged to do your part by voting, recognizing that while the system may be flawed, our voices still hold power. Each vote is a step toward change, a stand against injustice, and a declaration that we will not be silenced. Let’s keep this momentum going. Let’s honor those who are suffering by using our voice in every way we can. Together, we can demand accountability, promote peace, and work towards a better future for all. 🌍 🚨 𝙋𝙇𝙀𝘿𝙂𝙀 𝙏𝙊 𝙑𝙊𝙏𝙀 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀: https://lnkd.in/gmn3zMtr Join us in making a difference—commit to vote, encourage others to do the same, and let’s make our voices heard this November. ✊

Yesterday we hosted a Get Out the Vote (GOTV) strategizing meeting to mobilize Orange County voters in our communities to turn out to vote. As we approach the upcoming elections, it is crucial we unite our voices and collective efforts to ensure that the pro-peace and justice values of our communities are represented in the polls.

What a historic day! 🎉 17 organizations come together establishing the South Asian Middle Eastern North African (SAMENA) Collective. AACC is a proud member of SAMENA, which had its official kick-off launch and press conference on Friday 7/19. Our 17 member organizations came together to ensure our communities receive the recognition, resources, and representation they rightfully deserve. United, SAMENA will work to advance equity, representation, and enhance the quality of life for the SAMENA community in Orange County. 🌍✨ During the press conference, AACC Policy & Research Coordinator Amin Nash presented the key findings of the SAMENA survey results. In May 2024, SAMENA conducted a survey to assess service status and community needs, focusing on service utilization, demographics, immigration, education, housing, economic status, health, and civil rights. Data from 13 organizations covering 49,889 clients revealed significant insights. The findings underscore the need for stronger partnerships with SAMENA organizations to better serve the community’s diverse needs. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gx8nZZrT
