Linda Sarsour is a Palestinian American activist, author, and community organizer from Brooklyn, New York. She is widely known for her work in racial justice, civil rights, and women’s empowerment. As one of the national co-chairs of the 2017 Women’s March, she helped mobilize one of the largest protests in U.S. history. She was born and raised in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, as the eldest of seven children in a Palestinian immigrant family. After studying at Kingsborough Community College and Brooklyn College, she initially planned to become a teacher. However, following the events of 9/11, she felt compelled to take a more active role in public life. She began working with the Arab American Association of New York and eventually became its executive director. Under her leadership, the organization grew into a vital voice for immigrant and Muslim communities. In addition to that role, she co-founded several national movements. These include MPOWER Change, a digital platform for Muslim civic engagement, and Until Freedom, a nonprofit focused on racial justice and grassroots organizing. She has also partnered with Black Lives Matter and other coalitions to advocate for systemic reform. Linda Sarsour remains an influential figure in American activism. Through her work, she continues to challenge injustice, build alliances, and uplift underrepresented voices.
