- Promoting justice and understanding in the world is what Zahra Billoo strives to achieve in her role as the CAIR San Francisco Bay Area (CAIR-SFBA) chapter's Executive Director.

She has been a devoted labor rights advocate for years; she started as an intern for a local chapter of the California Faculty Association, a labor union for California State University (CSU) faculty members. Zahra has also worked as Field Organizer for the Service Employees International Union, and was awarded Peggy Browning Fund Fellowship to work with the National Employment Law Project. Zahra graduated Cum Laude from California State University, Long Beach with a B.S. in Human Resources Management and B.A. in Political Science.

Her work with CAIR has been covered in local and national media outlets including KTVU, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, the Christian Science Monitor, and NPR.

Go Z! You do sound like a lawyer - but a nice one! Who did your make up?
Randomly came across your blog and I have to say, you're definitely creating a name for yourself and our Muslim community here in the Bay. It is people like you that inspire Muslim women, much like myself, to get up everyday and fight for justice. Thank you sister and AMEEN for your work.
I'm proud of you, and glad to know that we have the ability to speak so eloquently on such important subject matters. I was very impressed by the way you kept your composure during the interview.
