who we are

Powering Progress 

 Through grassroots organizing, electoral mobilization, coalition-building, and leadership development, AAP ensures Arab Americans are not just at the table but are setting the agenda. We are building lasting political power and strengthening democracy in pursuit of civil rights, immigrant justice, peace, and economic equity for all.

Our Purpose

To dismantle systemic inequities and build a political home for Arab Americans—one rooted in advocacy, education, solidarity, and collective action. We seek a society where policies reflect the dignity, aspirations, and rights of Arab Americans, marginalized communities, and all people.        

What would it look like if our communities had real political power? From mobilizing voters to confronting misinformation and silencing, we’re building infrastructure that supports Arab Americans, marginalized communities, and all people to:

Mission

AAP builds power for Arab Americans and allies by equipping them with the tools, training, and infrastructure to influence policy and drive systemic change. Our work focuses on civil rights, immigrant rights, global peace, and economic justice for working families. Through grassroots organizing, electoral mobilization, coalition-building, and leadership development, we are securing a future where Arab Americans have a strong political voice and are shaping the decisions that impact their lives.

Vision

A future where Arab Americans are a powerful political force, fully engaged in a democracy that works for everyone. Where our voices influence elections, shape policies, and secure justice—at home and abroad—for all communities striving for dignity, equity, and peace.

how we create change

We organize from the ground up—rooted in community, powered by people, and focused on action. Every effort we lead is designed to confront injustice, build collective strength, and shift what’s politically possible.

  • Mobilize Arab Americans as an electoral bloc that can influence key races and drive policy outcomes.

  • Provide mentorship, political education, and skills training to prepare Arab Americans for leadership roles in government, advocacy, and media.

  •  Forge strategic alliances with allied communities and movements to amplify shared values and collective impact.

  • Develop and support community minded leaders to run for office, influence elections, and shape public discourse.

what we stand for

We’re building a future rooted in dignity, justice, and liberation—for Arab Americans and for all. Our policy priorities reflect the issues our communities face every day and the bold solutions we’re fighting for.

  • We protect our rights to vote, organize, and live free from discrimination and surveillance.

  • We fight for policies that defend our people—from border to airport—and ensure dignity for immigrants, refugees, and undocumented communities.

  • We challenge U.S. militarism and advocate for human-centered foreign policy.

  • We champion working-class families through equitable wages, access to healthcare, and investment in education and opportunity.
