Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC) is a left-of-center legal aid and activist group that provides immigration legal assistance to Palestinian and Arab immigrants and opposes the Israeli government. The group is sponsored by the Tides Center.

It mobilized support for Gaza following the October 2023 attack against Israel by Hamas and organized several protests and promoted high-school student walkouts in the San Francisco Bay area . It also issued a statement calling for a boycott of Israel and to “abolish apartheid, Zionism, and fascism in our homeland.” 8
