"ACRL stands squarely in solidarity with Black Americans and all marginalized communities experiencing state-sanctioned violence in Minnesota and around the United States," a release states. "Black people in America continue to live under the racist notion that their very existence is a threat. That shared experience binds Arab Americans with our Black brothers and sisters."

The press conference will begin at 2:30 p.m. and will be held in the parking lot of the Dearborn Police Station, 16099 Michigan Ave.
