Fadi Quran is a strategist and advocate dedicated to building collective power for justice and human rights. As the founder of Thiqa, he is leading efforts to reweave Palestinian communities into networks of collective struggle in pursuit of freedom, justice and dignity after decades of fragmentation. Fadi serves as Senior Director at Avaaz, supporting a global civic movement of over 69 million people to drive people-powered change on urgent issues.
