Leah Muskin-Pierret

Leah Muskin-Pierret (she/her) is politically at home in movements to abolish state violence and build new visions of safety, from DC to Palestine. In these movements, she seeks to facilitate collaborations that make seemingly impossible political transformations possible through collective action.

At the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Leah helps Palestine solidarity organizers leverage grassroots power to shift U.S. policy towards support for Palestinian liberation. Locally, Leah organizes with Occupation Free DC and Collective Action for Safe Spaces to end racist, transphobic, and patriarchal violence and build community-based safety. She fouses on shifting power and building peer mentorship structures, in the hopes that one day non-profit organizing can be eclipsed by self-sustained Black, Palestinian, and indigenous youth-led organizing beyond the non-profit industrial complex.

Leah is also passionate about building leftist community locally through anti-imperialist soccer and making music to sustain movements.
