Tala Ismail

Tala Ismail is a second-year law student at Rutgers Law School Newark. Prior to pursuing a law degree, Tala worked at the PACC as a H.O.P.E. Junior teacher and, later, as the Civic Engagement Coordinator. Born and raised in Bloomfield, NJ, Tala has spent years trying to give back to the communities that did so much for her, whether it was through volunteering as a township EMT or raising money for mutual aid groups. Tala is inspired daily by the strength of the Palestinian community, both in the U.S. and abroad; her biggest motivators, however, are her parents. Born stateless Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, Tala’s parents worked hard to build a beautiful life for their three children and are a perfect example of Palestinian resilience. When she’s not studying or reading books about Palestine, Tala enjoys playing guitar, hiking through New Jersey, napping excessively, binging Gilmore Girls, and spending time with her very large and very loud family. @paccusa

Heather Atshan of Fairfield is a mother of one child, and with ambition and optimism, she insisted on following her dreams in continuing her higher education. She has a current 3.78 GPA and will be graduating this May of 2022 with a master’s degree in Social Work. Heather had the opportunity to work on a wonderful project which was run by both the United Nations International Children’s Education Fund (UNICEF) and the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in Palestine in crisis intervention for the vulnerable populations (Women and children). Heather lived most of her life in Palestine and deeply understand the pain, obstacles, and challenges that Palestinians experience with living under the military occupation. Her strong beliefs in simplicity, social justice, non-violence, and fundamental equality of all human beings had led her choose Social Work as her future career.

Suleiman Gaghamin

Suleiman Gaghamin has roots from Deir Yasin, Palestine and grew up immersed in the culture and history of the country and the lived experiences of the Palestinian people first hand. He is passionate about preserving that history and that culture and has shared both in his local community unapologetically. Suleiman has led in volunteer work for Palestine, represented culturally appropriated traditions like the debke reclaiming them as Palestinian, and worked to educate others in his school sphere and social circles informally. Suleiman is always proud to represent Palestine, and vows to work tirelessly to advocate and be socially active for Palestine until Palestine is free and Palestinians have the right to return.
