ADC Announces New $10 Basic Membership
We take enormous pride in the tremendous
efforts and successes of ADC over the years, and are seeking to enhance this
record of consistent achievement on behalf of civil rights at home and peace
and justice in the Middle East. In order to expand the capacity of the
organization to meet the needs of the Arab-American community, ADC is
announcing a new basic membership fee of $10, which is intended to greatly
expand our membership base.
QUESTION: What will ADC gain through a greatly expanded membership?
ANSWER: Demonstrate to the American people,
Congress, and Administration, that we represent a significant constituency of active and engaged
Americans which brings together people from a broad ideological spectrum and transcends
religious, class, and geographical divisions.
Provide ADC with an even larger network of activists to speak out on
issues of concern to Arab Americans, and to the broader American community.
Open ADC's membership to others who share the organization's goals and
ideals and to continue our tradition of coalition building with other national advocacy
groups and individuals. Attract a wider membership which better represents the size and
achievements of the community of millions of Arab Americans it represents in the United
States.
Develop a sustainable financial donor base for ADC.

of the local and national American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. To join, send an email to info@adcma.org with the following information:
Full Name
Mailing Address
Daytime Number/Evening Number
Fax Number
The local chapter plans to use this list to issue
a minimal number of emails that will contain various national and local ADC
news as well as other information that members may be interested in. We will
also use this news list to announce specific events and calls to action. The
members on this list do not have posting privileges so that the traffic remains
low. If you need to reach us by email, send a message to info@adcma.org.
All Chapter members will be subscribed to the ADCMA-News email list. If you
aren't a dues paying member of the ADC yet, we encourage you to join by
visiting the ADC National website at www.adc.org.
You can register online.
We also have a second list, ADCMA (adcma@yahoogroups.com). The ADC-MA list
is accessible only to dues paying members. It will continue to be a
method of communicating news, ideas, projects etc. and will likely generate
lots of emails. This list is open to any member who is interested in
organizing events or participating in small committee work. If you like to join
that list too please send an email to adcma-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
