FARAH-NJ strongly condemns the deeply racist and ignorant statements made by U.S. Health Secretary, RFK Jr. on Monday October 26, 2026 at a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, MI. His sweeping and horribly inaccurate statements about Arabs and their lack of contribution to medicine, science or literature were demonstrably inaccurate and perpetuate racist and harmful stereotypes against Arabs in the U.S. and abroad. We reject rhetoric that dehumanizes Arabs, distorts our history and fuels hatred and discrimination.

Public figures must be held accountable for their words. FARAH-NJ calls on RFK Jr. to take responsibility for his vile and irresponsible remarks.
