Zayda is the spokesperson for the January Coalition and MC for the 2018 Women’s March-Cambridge/Boston. Zayda is a passionate advocate for immigrant rights and more representation of people of color in leadership in all aspects of our society.

Esther is a Bible and ancient Near East doctoral student at Brandeis, as well as a baker, progressive activist, and not-so-secret nerd. She jumped into anti-war and environmental activism in her youth, and while those causes still have a special place in her heart, fighting the recently escalating threats against immigrants and Muslims has become a particular passion. As part of Indivisible, she hopes to channel the anger and energy of progressives into concrete legislative pressure against Trump’s agenda. She spends her free time with her spouse, her pet degus, and fictional BioWare characters.
