Work Before she was a part of Brad Lander's campaign, she worked many organizing jobs such as a tenant rights organizer and gender justice organizer.

After being elected to city council, as a the first Muslim and first woman (and first Muslim woman) to serve on the New York City council--representing the 769,000 Muslim population in the 39th district--she focuses on equal access to education, proper sanitation systems, and home infrastructure. For example, she fights for a better "open streets" model for every neighborhood instead of only those with BIDs (Business Improvement Districts)--being higher income neighborhoods. Open streets is when streets are open and safe for the public to congregate instead of being filled with busy traffic. She also cares for the criminal justice system, immigration and raising awareness for domestic violence (She was highlighted in the New York times after helping a young Bangladeshi woman escape an abusive relationship.)
