About the Anti-Racism Movement and the Migrant Community Centers  The Anti-Racism Movement (ARM) is a grassroots movement created by young activists in Lebanon in collaboration with migrant community leaders. Together we work on documenting, investigating, exposing and fighting racist practices through multiple initiatives and campaigns. Our current efforts are mainly targeted towards discriminatory and exploitative practices, against migrant workers specifically.  The Migrant Community Centers (MCCs) are currently ARM’s largest project. Established in Beirut in 2011, in Saida in early 2016, and in Jounieh in late 2016, the MCCs are free and safe spaces tailored to migrant workers and evolving according to their needs, where they can meet, learn new skills, work together, and access information, resources and assistance. Since their creation, they have been offering free classes and other educational, social, and capacity-building activities, such as language classes, ICT classes, health awareness sessions, rights education, advocacy training, cultural exchange events, social gatherings, and various national holiday celebrations. The MCCs also serve as a hub where initiatives are launched, a space to have celebrations and gettogethers, and a casual space for migrant workers to spend time with each other.
