Equal Rights
No one in our state should be discriminated against for who they are or what they believe. It’s our collective responsibility to make sure that all people feel safe and supported by their government. As a hijab-wearing Muslim woman, Nabeela knows what it’s like to be judged by the way one looks or by what one believes. She has worked extensively in her religious community to mentor and empower young Muslim girls to grow their confidence and stand up to hate in their communities. She has also worked with several religious organizations to promote interfaith dialogue.
