On Tuesday, WESTON - Nazda Alam of Weston was Congresswoman Katherine Clark's guest at President Barack Obama's final State of the Union address.
Alam was a Muslim-American community organizer born in Bangladesh who immigrated to the U.S. in 1982. She was the Muslim Voter Registration Project chairwoman and worked to increase civic and electoral participation among Muslim and immigrant communities.
While the Donald Trump wing of the Republican party continued to poison our political system with hateful, anti-Islamic, anti-immigrant rhetoric, there were people like Nazda who worked to strengthen our democracy and better our communities," said Clark. "When the President delivered his priorities to the nation, I wanted him to look up and see an audience that reflected our nation's challenges and successes. As a Muslim-American mother of two, Nazda's story represented millions of Americans who contributed to our communities and worked hard to make our country succeed. I was proud to have her as my guest."
Alam's advocacy led to various appointments by state and national officials, including seats on the Governor's Advisory Council on Immigration and Refugee Policy and the State Treasurer's Diversity Council. She said her dedication to voter participation was driven by her belief in "core democratic values and fundamental human rights.
