Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS)

ACCESS strives to empower communities to improve their health and their economic, social and cultural well-being.

Project overview:

ACCESS will continue its work in getting detailed data for not only Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) populations, but for all minority and marginalized communities. This work will occur through the reintroduction of the Race and Ethnicity Data Collection Act that will establish a comprehensive set standard for how state agencies, universities, and local municipalities collect data on race and ethnicity. This campaign will include community outreach and education, legislature education, and the continued work on the first of its kind MENA Dashboard.
