Zareen Kamal is the Chicago organizer at National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum. She was a co-trainer for AFSC's Communities Against Islamophobia project and also part of the StopCVE Chicago coalition in Chicago. She is a former Head Start teacher with a Master’s in Early Childhood Education.

For years, AFSC has worked with immigrant communities in New Jersey and across the country to stop local law enforcement from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to round up and detain immigrants.

Over the summer, high school students impacted by the criminal justice system and immigration system took part in Liberation Summer Advocacy Camp, run by AFSC and Echoes of Incarceration in New York City. Participants learned about the roots of injustice in these systems, strategies for advocacy, and how to use filmmaking for change.
