In 2022, she ran for U.S. Congress to represent her home district, mobilizing thousands of people around issues of housing and healthcare access. Her work is widely recognized, with accolades including the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, a NYC Council Proclamation, and the Truman Scholarship. She has been featured in outlets such as CNN, NBC News, and Teen Vogue. Rana holds a BA in political science and economics from Middlebury College and a master's degree in public policy from Harvard Kennedy School.

Paperback. Condition: New. From the internationally renowned activist, organizer, and founder of Malikah, a visionary manifesto for a world in which women are truly free, and a practical guide to keeping our bodies and communities safe--by healing from trauma, defending ourselves physically and economically, and reimagining the systems that commit and enable the culture of violence too long accepted as the status quo.Abdelhamid wants every woman and survivor of gender-based violence to be able to defend themselves, and every community to build collective safety. What if we didn't accept that it's unsafe to walk home alone as a fact of life, but instead went out and created safe spaces for ourselves?Through thousands of training sessions, she's seen firsthand the strength we carry in our bodies, no matter our background or circumstance. Her revolutionary framework for finding that strength starts with emotional healing, then teaches physical self-defense and economic safety, and finally equips readers with organizing strategies to fight the systems that enable violence in the first place. A rallying cry and a practical guide, Get Home Safe will leave readers, regardless of strength, identity, or income, knowing they can fight back and reclaim power. Seller Inventory # LU-9781643757032
