Dr. Ed Hasan Statement on Recent Events at
@adc.

On April 22, 2026, I filed a formal derivative demand for corrective action with the Board of Directors of the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), including Chair Dr. Safa Rifka, with a copy submitted to the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia. A Thread...

.@InovaHealth Is it normal for an ER doctor to ask a patient whether their pain was severe enough to justify a $300 ambulance ride?

What happened to bedside manner, Dr. Hannah?

[Dr. Ed Hasan @DrEdHasan]

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) is reportedly firing staff the day before Eid, while the board responsible for this crisis stays in power, despite community calls to resign.

The community deserves answers.

Did anyone at the top get raises while staff were cut? How much donor money is going to lawyers and PR to protect leadership instead of the mission?

[Dr. Ed Hasan @DrEdHasan]

Something has been bothering me this graduation season.

Honorary doctorates are handed out for nearly every kind of contribution to the world.

So where is Mosab Abu Toha’s?

A poet who won the Pulitzer for writing the truth from inside a genocide. Who gave us literature and journalism while surviving what no human being should ever have to endure.

If not him, then who?

[Dr. Ed Hasan @DrEdHasan]

There’s so much attention on the people spewing anti-Muslim hate as the only ones to blame for the San Diego mosque terror attack.

But not nearly enough attention is given to those who normalized it through their silence.

[Dr. Ed Hasan @DrEdHasan]

Today, May 15, 2026, at 2 PM, my attorney and I formally met with the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia to raise serious concerns regarding the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC).

The matter is now in the hands of the appropriate authority.

[Sumud Podcast @sumudpod]

78 years ago today, 750,000 Palestinians were expelled during the Nakba (Palestinian Catastrophe in 1948).

Despite UN resolution 194, over 7 million Palestinians remain displaced and unable to access, visit or return to Palestine, but the Nakba is not in the past. With the genocide in Gaza and the continued systemic oppression of the Palestinian people, the Nakba is ongoing.

This is not history repeating itself. It's the same crime... still unfolding. This is dedicated to the memory of those who were displaced, to those who were lost, and to the resistance that never stopped. We honor their struggle. We carry their story.

ADC belongs to the community.

And all survivors will get their justice.

In solidarity,

Answering questions about my role with the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and why I filed a letter of demand.

A thread...

[Dr. Ed Hasan @DrEdHasan]

I filed my letter of demand requesting the immediate removal of the board, among other things.

Since that point, former ADC employees who are survivors have come forward with accounts revealing a systemic issue that had been going on for years under Dr. Safa’s leadership.

What they have shared is too disturbing to repeat publicly here.

[Jinan Deena @j_deena]

@JeninYounesEsq Shame on you for upholding the misogynistic and harmful behavior by the board and leadership. If you think placing you in this role is going to make what Rep Rashida and others have said go away, it won't. ADC needs a complete overhaul before we can trust it again.
