Arab Democrats host pre-election GOTV rally The Arab American Democratic Club of Illinois (AADC) and the American Arab Chamber Commerce (AACC) hosted an online Zoom rally on Sunday Oct. 25, 2020 that featured leaders of the American Arab community, candidates for public office, elected officials, judges and local activists to energize community voter turnout. The rally featured keynote speakers Arab American Institute (AAI) President Jim Zogby and Arab Americans for Biden spokesperson Jennifer Atala, and memorialized three activists including Miriam Zayed, Mansour Tadros and Jim Zogby’s wife, Eileen. The online conference was held as an alternative to the AADC’s popular and well-attended annual Candidates Forum and Breakfast because of coronavirus COVID-19 restrictions. The event featured an array of candidates running for office in the November 3 General election, including several judges, and remarks from local officials to emphasize support for the Arab American community. A special panel discussion featuring three community-based newspaper reporters and columnists including Ted Slowik of the Southtown, Lorraine Swanson of the Patch and Steve Metsch of the Southwest News Newspaper Group ended the event and included a discussion of why Arab community groups and activists must strengthen their local news media ties to empower their voices. Speaker after speaker urged Arab Americans to focus on the election and to empower their voices by voting and by engaging with local officials and governments.
