The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) states that it is the largest Arab American grassroots civil rights organization in the United States. According to its web page it is open to people of all backgrounds, faiths and ethnicities and has over 40 chapters and members in all 50 states. It notes that three million Americans trace their roots to an Arab country. The ADC seeks to “empower Arab Americans, defend the civil rights of all people, promote Arab cultural heritage, promote civic participation, encourage a balanced US policy in the Middle East and support freedom and development in the Arab World.” ADC has a number of programs to combat discrimination and bias against Arab-Americans, including stereotypes of Arabs and Muslims. The ADC is a member of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR) and has a seat on its executive committee. - Source: Wikipedia
