Palestinian American Community Center

Palestinian American Community Center PACC’s Mission:
To strenghthen and sustain ties to Palestinian Heritage while empowering the success and well-being of our entire community.

The Palestinian American Community Center (PACC) was formed in 2014 with the vision of creating a Palestinian Community Center in New Jersey and for the greater New York area. The goal of this center is twofold, to help strengthen the local Palestinian American community and to provide social, cultural, educational, athletic and recreational activities. PACC is dedicated to uniting, serving, empow

ering and organizing the Palestinian community in New Jersey. It is the primary mission of the PACC to promote Palestinian cultural values through art, history, social and educational services for the community. PACC's mission is to share the rich Palestinian heritage with our community and to preserve our culture for future generations. PACC is a strictly non-profit, non-political, and non-religious organization.

Showing up is how we keep the momentum alive. 🇵🇸
Join us for the Local Officials & Organizers Panel — a space built for our community to move beyond commemorating and into action. Hear from Arab American and Muslim leaders who are actively building people power, fighting apathy, and shaping the political landscape for Palestine.

This Thursday, we’re bringing Ibrahim Omar, Arwa Ensour, Naureen Akhtar, and Omayma Mansour to the table — leaders who aren’t just talking about change, they’re making it happen. Because change doesn’t happen in silence. It happens when we organize, advocate, and refuse to stop showing up.
