ASSOCIATION OF MULTIETHNIC AMERICANS (AMEA) P.O. Box 29233 The goal of AMEA is to educate and advocate on behalf of multiethnic individuals and families by collaborating with others to eradicate all forms of discrimination.

We are convinced that our community is uniquely situated to confront these issues because of the special experiences and understanding we acquire in the intimacy of our families and our personalities. Ideally, we believe our community has the potential of becoming a stable core around which the ethnic pluralism of this country is unified, and perhaps, an anchor for promoting understanding and peace among the nations of the world.
