(Middle East Eye) US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has released a comprehensive platform outlining his plans for the Arab-American community, emphasising commitment to civil rights and prosperity at home as well as a more balanced foreign policy in the Middle East.
The plan, released on Saturday, pledges to reverse many of Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant and nationalist policies while also addressing long-standing community concerns that predate the current president.
“Anti-Arab bigotry has been used in attempts to exclude, silence, and marginalize an entire community, and Biden believes it must be rejected whenever it surfaces, including when it emanates from elected officials or those seeking public office,” reads the platform.
