Role: Writer, Editor

An investigative op-ed examining the escalating threats, harassment, and political repression faced by Palestinian organizers in the United States through the case of activist Nerdeen Kiswani. The article explores how targeted intimidation, institutional failures, and media narratives contribute to an environment where political organizers are increasingly vulnerable to violence.

Drawing from firsthand observations as an organizer and broader examples of attacks against pro-Palestinian activists, this piece analyzes the relationship between grassroots organizing, state response, and the suppression of political movements. It situates Kiswani’s experience within a larger conversation about free speech, protest rights, and the risks faced by those challenging dominant narratives.
