Amrou is an accessibility specialist, photographer, and long time political activist. Their organizing work focuses on the rights of Palestinian people and more generally the struggles of colonized people against imperialism.
As an Egyptian from New Jersey, they grew up in the Arab community of North Jersey, specifically the Palestinian Muslim community in Paterson, NJ (aka Little Palestine) and has been going to Palestine protests their whole life.
They spent the past few years organizing protests and teach-ins in New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia centered around Palestinian political prisoners and the Palestinian resistance.
They were in Egypt in spring 2024, before the Rafah border crossing closed, providing mutual aid support to displaced Palestinians from Gaza and raising money for evacuations.
Currently they’re working on launching a new organization named Nidal, focusing on cultivating resistance culture in the west and building solidarity for the Axis of Resistance.
Amrou is unapologetically pro-resistance and believes that Palestine is the most important place in the world today.
