Debbie Almontaser
Debbie Almontaser is a Yemeni-American educator and advocate who gained national attention in 2007 when she resigned as principal of a city school after defending a T-shirt with the slogan 'Intifada NYC,' which was viewed by city officials as a call to violence. She has since become a prominent figure in Muslim American activism, serving as a senior advisor to Emgage Action and a board member of the Yemeni American Merchants Association Action. Almontaser has been vocal in defending fellow Muslim Americans against accusations of extremism and Islamophobia, particularly in the context of political campaigns.
