OneAmerica celebrated its 10-year anniversary with a dinner and celebration at the Westin Hotel in Seattle. The event featured speakers and dances, which included a surprise 80-person flash mob with Salsa, African, and Bollywood dancing.
About 650 people attended and $175,000 was raised.
OneAmerica was formed directly after 9/11 in response to hate crimes and discrimination targeting Arabs, Muslims, and South Asians. It has expanded to organize and advocate for many diverse communities of color. ♦
