Amon could be Hiroshi Sato or at least in some way related to him. There aren't any non-benders who has power and influence to finance such an extensive underground network other than Hiroshi. Just look at the uniforms, expensive equipments and land holdings that the equalists possess- those could not have come from mere donations given that the non-benders tend to occupy the lower rung of the society.

Another point of interest is that Hiroshi Sato is closely modeled after Henry Ford. We all know for the history that Ford was a well-known Nazi sympahtiser who financed dubious racist groups. Could Sato have also done the same? I can see the motivation there. He may feel that he is still not getting the respect and power that he deserves despite his huge wealth just because he is not a bender. Look at the Council for instance - Its seats are completely filled by benders and non-benders must be facing some sort of glass ceiling when it comes to politics. Hiroshi may be using Equalists to rally non-benders for his own political empowerment.
