Labor rights are immigrant rights.

This Labor Day, the AAHC and FAIR stand with immigrant workers. Immigrants are essential to our workforce and mutual success. When the rights of immigrant workers are protected, all workers are protected as well.

The AAHC had an eventful and meaningful summer! Swipe through for a recap in photos ☀️📸

Thank you for your continued support!



We attended National Advocacy Days in DC with NNAAC to meet with our representatives to discuss issues impacting our communities. We also congratulated our MENA Business Research Interns for completing their work, making significant progress in understanding MENA-owned businesses in our area.

We hosted 2 film screenings at the KIVA theater in partnership with the Arab American National Museum and Beit Sahour: Palestine 36 and All That’s Left of You. Both movies told important Palestinian stories and served as reminders of our responsibility to continue raising awareness and taking meaningful action for the Palestinian cause.

Our TGI cohort raised $500 to the Flint Public Health Youth Academy (FPHYA) and the Community Foundation of Greater Flint matched that! The FPHYA is dedicated to community safety and violence prevention, directly aligning with the youth that TGI hoped to support!

Ahead of the August 4th Primary Election, our team tabled at various community spots for voter outreach and education. Our outreach work extended virtually as well through our social media campaign, starting up a new video series, Ballot Briefs with Lina. Our volunteers served as Poll Challengers on Election Day, ensuring a fair and equitable experience at the polls.

We had amazing turnout at the Annual Community Picnic! The AAHC was happy to partner with FAIR, GCMA, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Flint Athletic Club, and the International Center of Greater Flint to bring the event together. We had a great time playing soccer, dancing dabke, painting a collaborative mural, and enjoying food together!

The AAHC continued to partner with the Flint Alliance for Immigrant Rights throughout the summer for their monthly teach-ins!

This week on Ballot Briefs with Lina, we’re breaking down the latest update on President Trump’s executive order targeting mail-in voting and what it actually means for voters. 🗳️

⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE: Since filming this Ballot Brief, there has been another development.

After the Postal Service officially issued the new requirements including rules involving how states identify mail-ballot voters and how those ballots are processed through USPS states and voting-rights groups challenged the policy again.

A federal judge has now temporarily blocked those requirements for 14 days while the case continues. A hearing on whether to extend that block is scheduled for September 3.

Bottom line for voters: these new mail-voting restrictions are NOT currently in effect, and nothing has changed right now about how you can cast your ballot.

We’ll continue following the case and sharing updates as they happen.

A little good news for Michigan voters! 🗳️✨

On this week’s Ballot Brief with Lina, we’re breaking down the latest update on the Americans for Citizen Voting proposal and what it could mean for voting access in Michigan.

The Bureau of Elections found the campaign fell short of the valid signatures needed to qualify for the November ballot.

Stay tuned as we keep you updated on what happens next. In the meantime, we’re celebrating an encouraging update for Michigan voters!

While headlines move quickly and algorithms decide what gets seen, mass detention is still taking place, people are still being targeted, detained in inhuman prisons, surveilled, separated from their families, denied representation, and forced to live in constant fear. These cruel and violent systems of harm are same systems that want the public to remain disengaged and cynical.

That’s why we are bringing these stories to the surface. We have to remain informed, activated, and alert. We have to keep paying attention even when the news cycle moves on. From Flint, across Michigan, and across this country, the struggle for justice and liberation is one we will always remain committed to.
