I believe in the liberation of the Palestinian people.
My Pandora station is Boyz II Men.
We show up to fight racism, anti-black racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, misogyny, patriarchy, anti-Semitism, because after Donald Trump is out of office, there will still be all those things here.
I think the Women's March is actually reflective of this idea that you can create a big tent, but that doesn't mean the people inside of the tent are going to agree on everything. In fact, they might have very public fights about the things that they don't agree with.
Since when can somebody tell me a time or a case where there has been a Syrian refugee in this country who has committed an act of terror?
I get to say I was alive when the first Palestinian woman went to Congress. I was alive when the first Somali woman, in a hijab, who's black and Muslim - she's literally an immigrant, a refugee, black and Muslim and a woman and progressive.
As one of the national organizers of the Women's March back in 2017, immediately after the Women's March, over 20,000 women across the country had registered to run for office - the largest numbers we've seen in probably our entire American history for women to run in this way.
One of the areas that many of us, including the Women's March organizers, are focusing on is starting mass voter registration and voter engagement.
I believe that this is the land of religious freedom and that that applies to Muslims. And if I have to make it apply to Muslims with the work that I do, I'm going to do that.
We have to, as a progressive movement, organize climate justice and reproductive rights and racial justice. We've got to do this. We can't continue to organize in silos.
We will not be silenced by Blue Lives Matter, by white supremacists, by neo-Nazis, or right-wing Zionists.
We must stand together united in solidarity against the targeting, demonization, and vilification of any group of people.
The progressive Left is sometimes very uncomfortable for staunch pro-Israel supporters, but what's very clear to me is that the progressive Left does not make Jews feel unsafe.
Americans - in general, we are very steadfast people: we know what we want; we get what we want.
I was on the steering committee of the New York City Coalition on Muslim School Holidays.
Can we be against anti-Semitism and understand that it's at the root of white supremacy? So you can't tell me to combat anti-Semitism if you're not ready to join me and tell me, 'Let's end white nationalism and white supremacy,' which is really the real threat on all Americans.
Being a Muslim American activist, I've been targeted by the right wing in a way that is very dangerous.
Reading a teleprompter is not what makes you presidential. It's your actions that you take, and it's democracy.
Time and time again, organizers have proved that when we work together, when we organize together, that we can win.
I'm not just a token Muslim.
