Aber Kawas is a community organizer and democratic socialist running to represent parts of Astoria, Sunnyside, Woodside, Ridgewood, Maspeth, Long Island City, Elmhurst, Glendale, and Jackson Heights. For more than 15 years, she has been at the front lines of the fight for working class New Yorkers — from the Fight for 15 to raise the minimum wage, to countering police surveillance and harassment, and organizing for immigration reform. Aber helped to develop and launch the Not On Our Dime Campaign alongside mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to stop NY-based organizations from exploiting their non-profit status to fund Israel's human rights violations against Palestinians. She is the daughter of Palestinian refugees, born and raised in a working class family in New York City. Aber's father was detained by ICE and deported from the U.S. by the same cruel immigration system that is harming the people of Queens today.
