We are excited to have with us Director of Strategic Initiatives at Building Movement Project, Deepa Iyer; Executive Director of Desis Rising Up & Moving, Fahd Ahmed; and founder of Unbought Power, Rasha Mubarak.

Fahd Ahmed is the Executive Directors of Desis Rising Up & Moving (DRUM). He came to the United States as an undocumented immigrant from Pakistan in 1991. Fahd has been a grassroots organizer on the issues of racial profiling, immigrant justice, police accountability, and national security over the last 13 years. He attended Vanderbilt University as an undergraduate, and went to the CUNY School of Law.  Fahd has been involved with DRUM in various capacities since 2000, when he had family members facing deportation, and entrapment as part of the War on Drugs.  Within DRUM, Fahd co-led the work with Muslim, Arab, and South Asian immigrant detainees before, and immediately after 9/11, by coordinating the detainee visitation program. Over the last 3 years, as the Legal and Policy Director at DRUM, Fahd ran the End Racial Profiling Campaign and brought together the coalitions working on Muslim surveillance, and stop and frisk, to work together to pass the landmark Community Safety Act. He is also a member of the Steering Committee for the National Campaign on Surveillance and Use of Informants, which is housed out of DRUM.

Rasha Mubarak is the founder of Unbought Power, an organization that works to train and build people power and advocate for community issues through legislative power. She is a Palestinian-American Muslim community activist, consultant, political strategist, and leader, who was named “10 People Making Orlando a Better Place to Be” and “2019 Florida Young Democrat of the Year”. Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in the heart of Central Florida, Rasha is a grassroots organizer and political advocate for national, statewide, and local political candidates and campaigns around civil rights, human rights, interfaith work, immigration rights, and Black and Brown liberation. She has 15+ years of experience as a bilingual progressive organizer and political strategist specializing in: advocacy, non-profit management, campaigns, program development, fundraising, stakeholder engagement, education and mobilization immersed within a strong network of diverse communities both locally and nationally.

Jinan Shbat is the ADC National Organizer where she leads and organizes events, webinars and chapter meetings across the country. She mobilizes Arab-American communities nationwide while helping to bridge intersectional issues.
