American Task Force for Lebanon

The American Task Force for Lebanon (ATFL) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization comprised primarily of prominent and dedicated Americans of Lebanese heritage who share a common interest in Lebanon and the goals of the organization. The unifying goal is to work towards reestablishing a secure, stable, independent, and sovereign Lebanon with full control over all its territory. The ATFL, which is nonsectarian and nonpartisan, encourages the advocacy of the United States Administration, Department of State, and Congress in helping to realize its goals.

1. Provide a national structure within which Americans of Lebanese heritage may promote the national unity, independence, sovereignty, and security of a free and democratic Lebanon

2. Heighten awareness of the American public and United States government to the social, economic, political, cultural, and educational situation in Lebanon; and, heighten awareness about the contributions of Lebanese Americans

3. Encourage greater involvement by the United States to restore the basic infrastructure of Lebanese economic, political, education, and social institutions
