AHRC Wishes All happy, Safe, And Peaceful Thanksgiving Holiday

The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) extends its best wishes for a happy, safe, and peaceful Thanksgiving holiday to all Americans celebrating the holiday this Thursday, November 23, 2023.

The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 with a meal shared by the Pilgrims and the Native Americans. It is commonly celebrated with family meals with friends and family getting together to share food and give thanks.

We are not a perfect country. But we have much to be thankful for and together we can fight, and defeat hate and divisiveness. Hate and divisive rhetoric should not be used as political tools.

Only together as a country and as peace- loving people around the world we can help create a better world for all of us.

We celebrate despite serious challenges facing our nation and the rest of the world. We hope that we will celebrate our 2024 Thanksgiving with lasting and just peace in the region and around the world.

AHRC-USA affirms its unwavering commitment to promoting and defending the human rights and human dignity of everyone, in the US and abroad.

“Thanksgiving is a celebration of life,” said Imad Hamad, AHRC Executive Director. “While we enjoy our time with friends and family over a nice meal, let us not forget about our fellow human beings, the less fortunate among us here and abroad,” continued Hamad.
