About Anti-Racism and Anti-Defamation Alliance (ARADA)
Anti-Racism and Anti-Defamation Alliance (ARADA) is a registered non-profit organization (501(c)3 status pending) that is dedicated to fighting against racism and defamation across the globe. We fight against racism and defamation that affects people, groups and organizations. We are open to any and all individuals and groups who share our vision and those who have been directly or indirectly affected by racism and defamation.
We have no affiliations based on race, religion, politics, religion, ethnicity, or otherwise. We welcome partnerships with anyone who shares our vision.
We research various topics and issues related to racism and defamation in order to educate the public and raise awareness. We address issues such as hate crimes, internet or cyber bullying, bigotry, and human and civil rights violations.
We invoke a novel approach to anti-racism and anti-defamation advocacy by applying recommendations from our network of leading researchers in the field. Two areas of particular focus are: 1) the psychological effects that racism has on children and 2) the economic roots of racism.
We have the following news sites related to human rights and news sites:
