AJ Elhossiani (he/his)

AJ Elhossiani is a passionate advocate for education, social justice, and legal reform. As a Political Science major with a minor in Education Empowerment at the University of Michigan, AJ is committed to addressing systemic inequities, particularly in education and the justice system. Coming from an Afro-Caribbean and Egyptian background and growing up in underprivileged communities, AJ has witnessed firsthand the challenges of intimate partner violence (IPV), underfunded schools, and the effects of mass incarceration. These lived experiences fuel his mission to create lasting change.

His leadership extends to student organizing as well. As part of Students Against Domestic Abuse (SADA), AJ helped revive and grow the organization from three members to over thirty in just four months, creating a vibrant campus community dedicated to education and advocacy around intimate partner violence.
