The executive director of the Arab American Association of New York served as a national co-chair for the historic Women’s March – a protest against freshly sworn-in President Donald Trump that spread worldwide, with massive sister marches from Los Angeles to Berlin.

Women's march against Trump swamps Washington streets, subway Women's March organizer Sarsour slams 'attack campaign' after report of Hamas ties Women’s rights were core to the event, cast as a response to lewd and degrading comments made by the president about women throughout his campaign. The march was intended to energize American women to protect a policy agenda centered on reproductive rights. But women of all stripes – those who identify as gay or transgender, undocumented, black, Muslim – incorporated their own fears and policy priorities into the march, and the event quickly became a pan-progressive movement against Trump’s looming presidency. That was the goal of its leadership, including Sarsour, who has campaigned around the country to link civil rights battles with her cardinal cause: Palestinian freedom. “I grew up in an activist family – my parents are Palestinian, and obviously the blood that runs through my veins is the blood of a very oppressed people,” Sarsour explained to the web show Brooklyn Savvy in a 2015 interview. “I’m outraged by our government,” she said. “We fund military aid that’s being used to basically kill my people right now. That’s like, straight up what’s happening right now.” Born in Brooklyn, Sarsour began her work with the Arab American Association of New York after September 11, 2001, when she was 21 years old. The organization’s founding purpose was to help Arab Americans find housing and schooling for their children as they settled in the city. But advocacy became a top organization priority as New York City’s police department began monitoring the community more invasively in light of the attacks. Sarsour’s seminal policy battle in New York was her fight with the city to recognize Muslim holidays in public schools, as Christian and Jewish high holidays are observed. The Arab American Association worked with the help of New York Jewish groups to make it happen, she told the Vox website in an interview this month. Sarsour was honored by the Obama administration as a “champion of change” in 2011 for improving the lives of others through her charitable work. Growing in her activist role, Sarsour has increasingly linked her Palestinian cause with struggles facing the wider Arab American community since September 11th, with the concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement, and with the protection of undocumented immigrants, of LGBTQ citizens and of women and girls. “The same people who justify the massacres of Palestinian people and call it collateral damage are the same people who justify the murder of black young men and women,” she told the 20th anniversary Million Man March on Washington, an event held on the National Mall for African American civil rights, organized by Louis Farrakhan in 2015. “The same people who want to deport millions of undocumented immigrants are the same people who hate Muslims and who want to take our right to worship freely in this country. That common enemy, sisters and brothers, is white supremacy,” Sarsour said. “Let’s call it what it is.” Her political philosophy places all of these groups, with all of their unique challenges, within the same category of oppressed peoples – and the oppressors, the opposition, are large corporations, white Islamophobes and Zionists. Nothing in Sarsour’s record offers evidence that she respects Zionism as a cause, and on the contrary, she has repeatedly used the term Zionist as an epithet. She wrote in 2015 on Twitter that “Zionist trolls” were out to get her, and in 2012, “Nothing is creepier than Zionism.” In 2013, Sarsour wrote that she believes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the primary issue dividing the American Jewish and Muslim communities. She repeated this claim in 2016, noting that she does not believe all American Jews are anti-Palestinian. Several commonalities – “kosher/halal, issues around circumcision, family values” – join the two communities together, she wrote. The US, UK and nearly three dozen other nations have adopted a definition of antisemitism that would likely condemn Sarsour’s rhetoric, as her advocacy suggests she believes the Jewish state is intrinsically racist and unjust.
