Building Arab

Community Power

AROC Action supports Arab and other South West Asian and North African (SWANA) communities to engage on electoral issues and advocate for our collective empowerment.

Our Principles

Palestine Solidarity

We work for freedom and justice in Palestine, most immediately to stop the genocide in Gaza and demand an immediate ceasefire through an end to US weapons support to Israel.

Local Action

Our work is locally rooted while recognizing that our communities are deeply connected to our homelands. We recognize that what happens in our homelands, including Palestine, is impacted by our local politics and vice versa.

Community Defense

SWANA community and Palestine activists are facing discrimination, retaliation, and criminalization. We seek to defend and empower our community members and allies against such attacks.

Building Unity

We recognize that our community and our interests are multi-faceted, and we work to build unity among and across these differences by engaging in direct communication and feedback.

Uplifting All

We center the needs and interests of those most marginalized within our communities, including poor and working class people, undocumented immigrants, women and gender non-conforming people, and others.

Bridging Solidarity

We understand our needs to be interconnected with other communities of struggle and we actively seek to partner with those who share our values and political interests.
