NEWS: At long last—and as we recognize the 79th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—@APA Council this morning overwhelmingly voted for a resolution calling for a CEASEFIRE in the ISRAEL/GAZA conflict. I applaud colleagues who worked so hard to make this happen!

Right now, Middle Eastern and North African people are categorized as white under the government.

Why does this matter?

It means when we have no data on our communities. We can't even accurately say how many people of MENA descent live in the US! [1/3]

[American Psychological Association @APA]

April is Arab American Heritage Month. Celebrate with APA President @drthema and Drs. @Dr_GigiAwad @dr_sawssan as they discuss the power of AMENA culture & identity, the value of community, the importance of cultural competency in psychology, and more.
