About Samhita Saquib

I spent the first decade of my career working in environmental justice, regulation, consulting, and policy, pushing for equitable solutions. Alongside my professional work, I\'ve spent years organizing, advocating, and showing up for causes I believe in. I\'ve organized coalitions for protests, led community initiatives, and advocated for human rights, from refugee resettlement to gun violence prevention to Palestine liberation.Now, I’m pivoting my career to foreign policy and anti-war advocacy. I want to see resources go toward people and the planet instead of war. As the child of survivors of the 1971 Bangladesh genocide, I’ve heard firsthand how state violence can devastate communities, and I\'m eager to work alongside people who believe we can build a future that prioritizes peace and justice.
