For the past 20 years, she lived in Chicago, serving the Arab American and American Muslim community. She is beloved by many and won multiple awards for her work with women and children. The U.S. government is targeting Odeh for political reasons.

Rebuild our cities! End the wars,” “Defend the Black Lives Matter movement,” and “No to Islamophobia.”
