Chip in to support Rana!

I’m running for State Assembly in Astoria and Long Island City because this district is my home, the place that raised me, and the place where I’m now raising my son. For nearly two decades, I’ve organized here: building mutual aid networks, teaching self-defense, running a community safety center, and fighting for families being pushed out by rising costs, unsafe housing, and systems that keep too many in crisis.

Every day as I organize, I see the consequences of policy failure. Neighbors lining up for groceries after SNAP cuts. Immigrant families are afraid to seek services. Mothers working multiple jobs yet still struggling to stay in the neighborhood they helped build. I’m running because our community deserves a champion who understands this urgency, someone who has been doing the work long before stepping into politics.

In Albany, I will fight for affordable housing, universal childcare, our small businesses, immigrant protections, and real community safety rooted in care, culture, and economic justice. I want to bring the voices of the people I’ve stood beside for years into the rooms where decisions are made.

When elected, I would be the first Egyptian and Muslim woman ever to serve in the New York State Assembly. That matters, not only for representation, but because this district deserves someone who knows our stories, our struggles, and our power. I’m running to ensure working class families can thrive here, to resource the community organizations that hold us together, and to build a Queens where we can stay and where our kids grow up safe, stable, and seen.

This campaign is people-powered. Every contribution directly fuels organizing, outreach, and the chance for real change in AD36.

Thank you for believing in this community and in this vision.
