Negative Stereotyping in the Media and Elsewhere"<BR><BR>The American-Arab
Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), founded in 1980, is the largest grassroots
Arab-American organization in the U.S. It prides itself on being non-sectarian
and non-partisan, welcoming people of all backgrounds, faiths & ethnicities
as members. ADC is committed to empowering Arab-Americans; defending the civil
rights of all those of Arab heritage in the U.S.; promoting a more balanced
foreign policy in the Middle East; and supporting freedom & development in
the Arab World.<BR><BR>The Massachusetts chapter of ADC, located at Community
Church, encourages<BR>Arab-Americans proudly to embrace their identities and
advocates for their civil rights in this state. It works toward these objectives
through counseling and selective litigation; educating the general population on
Arab culture & issues; and building the Arab-American community
itself.<BR><BR>MA chapter president is Merrie Najimy, a founder of the Boston
Committee for<BR>Palestinian Rights and an ADC National Board member. A
second-generation Arab American, she teaches elementary school in Concord. As
such, she devotes much of her time to creating an active anti-bias curriculum
that she uses with her students and to train other teachers.<BR><BR>Community
