“How Anti-Palestinian Repression is Building an Authoritarian Precedent in America” is the title of an important report issued in July by the Palestinian advocacy organization American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). Ahmad, the report’s author, is a Harvard and Cambridge-trained independent researcher whose work spans domestic and international policy. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Hill, Vox, and other publications. She was also one of the lead organizers of the Listen to Wisconsin pro-Ceasefire electoral campaign.
