Advancing Justice — AAJC recognizes the importance of the "Discrimination and the Civil Rights of the Muslim Arab and South Asian American Communities" hearing as the first Congressional hearing to examine how post 9/11 national security policies impacted and criminalized Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (AMEMSA) communities. We write to express our concerns of the racial profiling and discriminatory targeting of the AMEMSA and Asian American communities.
