A poet and essayist, Dania Rajendra writes to showcase and foster solidarity across many kinds of difference. A born-and-bred New Yorker, she has also lived in the Upper Midwest, the Deep South. She is a frequent speaker on racism, antisemitism, economic (in)justice and the political right.

Dania has served on the boards of Political Research Associates, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, Grassroots Law and Organizing for Workers and the Diaspora Alliance. She really likes to talk about Jell-O.
