CAF spearheads campaigns to fight the negative stereotyping of Arabs and works to end systemic discrimination and racism. This is achieved by providing support, information and advice to members of the Arab-Canadian community. CAF monitors the media, government legislation and by-laws for anti-Arab discrimination. CAF also provides speakers for events, offers anti-racism material to schools and the media and issues action alerts in response to racism against Arabs.
