Arab American Civic Council

Our community shows up. Earlier this year, we surveyed 880 Arab American, Middle Eastern, and North African voters across California and found that 95.4% voted in 2024, and 91.7% are already planning to vote again in 2026. That makes us one of the most civically engaged communities in the state, and that energy is exactly what MOVE 2026 is built to carry forward.

MOVE 2026 turns that energy into power, not by asking our community to trust a system that hasn't earned it, but by building power we control ourselves: real relationships and new leaders that carry us forward beyond any single election. That happens door by door. Canvasser to voter. Neighbor to neighbor. This year, our goal is to reach 8,000 Arab American and anti-war voters across Orange County, many of them for the very first time.

Every conversation is powered by people, not billboards: a canvasser walking the neighborhood, a Field Coordinator keeping the work moving, and community research that makes sure we're knocking on the doors that matter most.

This is bigger than one election. It's a community building power that lasts well beyond it, one vote at a time.

That's what community power wins: leaders who choose peace over war, who protect immigrant families, and who defend the right to free speech. That's the future MOVE 2026 is building toward

This Together We Belong Giving Day, we're inviting our community to fund $10,000 to hire, train, and run canvassers who carry out this work: over 10% of our larger MOVE 2026 campaign. It's a small slice of the budget, but an outsized one: canvassers are the ones carrying our message door to door, so this is the piece that makes everything else possible.

Together, We Belong at the Ballot Box 

Every door we knock brings our community closer to being seen, heard, and counted.
