OUR MISSION
AMVOTE’s mission is to expand the influence of American citizens of Middle Eastern North African ancestry, whether Muslim or Christian, through support of candidates who show a commitment to equal community opportunities in: (1) Business, (2) Employment, (3) Government, (4) Education, and (5) Civil Rights without regard to race, color, creed, and ethnicity
The purpose of AMVOTE is to enhance the civic participation and empowerment of MENA Americans by voting for those that are sensitive to discrimination issues. The organization also advocates on behalf of the MENA community through democratic and inclusive organizational structures, and through partnering with other organizations.
AMVOTE is a state and local PAC that is not involved in federal issues or races and does not advocate in favor of any particular political party, religious viewpoint, or foreign policy position.
Founded by Hon. William J. Haddad (ret.), the American Middle East Voter’s Alliance (AMVOTE) is Illinois’ first Arab American Political Action Committee dedicated to promoting voter registration, voter information, and voter empowerment. AMVOTE PAC was created for the benefit of over 355,000 MENA Americans. Our 47-Member Board is comprised of top leaders from the MENA professional community in law, medicine, business, engineering, education, and science.
