This is our moment.

The Administration is forging new alliances in the Middle East. President Obama has confirmed his commitment to Palestinian rights. U.S. troops are leaving Iraq. And federal agencies have the opportunity to restore civil liberties protections lost in the last eight years.

Now is the time when Arab Americans can make real progress on the issues that matter most.

We made history in 2008, with more Arab Americans casting their ballots and raising their voices than ever before. Today, together, we can shape the future.
