Hammad provided legal support and engaged in policy advocacy and outreach for Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (AMEMSA) students and families who were victims of school bullying in San Bernardino County and the San Francisco Bay Area, California.
Hammad’s project provided critically needed representation to AMEMSA students suffering from bullying, harassment, discrimination, and profiling across schools in San Bernardino County and the San Francisco Bay Area, California, as well as other parts of the state.
Over the two-year Fellowship period, Hammad:
Hammad will continue his work for AMEMSA communities at Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Asian Law Caucus as a staff attorney in its National Security and Civil Rights program. He will protect AMEMSA students and youth from harmful policies impacting them, while expanding his work to address harmful government policies justified under the guise of national security, including protecting AMEMSA communities from surveillance, criminalization, and state violence.
