ADCMA currently has four major committees, members and volunteers can be part of. These committees are still in their inception phases and committee heads are always looking for dedicated volunteers to bolster ADCMA and the work we do.
1. Legal Advocacy- With the creation of a legal intake and advocacy program, ADCMA will be able to provide pro-bono ADCMA lawyers to handle civil rights and immigration cases, confront discrimination more systematically and document case histories and successes. If you are a lawyer or law student and would be interested in volunteering your time, contact ADCMA at 617-262-8902.
2. Cultural Committee- This committee focuses on bringing cultural programming to Boston where ADCMA will be a major sponsor. Cultural programming includes writers, singers, intellectuals, dance troupes and others. For more information and to answer any questions you may have, contact Rima Alnasser Kayyali at rima.alnasser@verizon.net.
3. Outreach and Communications- Individuals with website experience, community organizing and outreach, and communications experience are encouraged to join this committee. For more information, contact Caline Jarudi at caline@adcma.org .
4. Palestine
Working Group- This committee deals primarily with issues relevant
to the Arab-Israeli Conflict, advocacy of Palestinian rights, and
local activism for the Palestinian cause. If you have any
experience in any of these areas, or are simply interested in learning
and involving yourself in Palestinian issues, contact Susan Barney
at susanbarney@comcast.net.
