The Campaign to TAKE ON HATE, led by the National Network for Arab American Communities (NNAAC), a project of ACCESS, held a vigil for three Muslim Americans killed in Chapel Hill, N.C.
"Munira Kassim, VOCA Program Supervisor at ACCESS, said one of the challenges the organization faces as a service agency rooted within the community is 'giving a sense of safety' to hidden victims
"As news spread of Tuesday night’s deadly North Carolina shootings, the Arab-American community became outraged that the three college students may have been shot because they were Muslim."
The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan (CFSEM) recently awarded the ACCESS Youth and Education department a $10,000 grant to support the Dearborn Youth Empowerment Initiative (DYEI).
