Why Be a Member?
The center was established in 1987, to serve the social and political needs of the local Arab community. The current members of the Arab American Cultural Center (AACC) are vigilantly working to develop a unified Arab-American center for cultural learning and recreation. Built for all ages, the AACC asks for your help with the development and improvement of such a center.
Accomplishments already performed by the AACC include but not limited to:
- The AACC has conducted several interviews with local televisions channels 2, 5, and 11, met with important newspapers such as the SF Chronicle and the San Jose Mercury News, and given lectures at local schools, mosques and churches.
- The AACC joined with the Republican Arab American Committee (RAAC) in an effort to educate Bay Area residents of their voting rights, and to highlight issues discussed by Arab American nominees and other candidates.
- The organization held several social and political events
- Managed the Arab TV (ATV), which shows once every week. The ATV personnel have interviewed many dignitaries from the Bay Area such as Mayor Ron Gonzales, the Sheriff, the District Attorney, the FBI and many others. ATV covers about 150,000 houses from all different cultural backgrounds.
- Helped a number of Arab refugees to settle in this area.
The AACC is planning a multitude of events ranging from dance and Arabic classes to voter education. By providing these extra-curricular activities to the Arab community, this center will become an essential component in presenting the Arab American generations. In order for this center to succeed, it needs YOU, the Arab community, to make it happen! Volunteers, educators, donations, and much more are crucial to making the AACC flourish. Volunteers are needed to fill the many available positions. Arab Americans must come together in these times of political injustice and rally together to enlighten the general public of their many causes.
