Natalie Sanandaji

 Natalie Sanandaji, serves as the Officer Affairs Public Movement Antisemitism Combat (CAM), where she is deeply involved in global efforts to combat antisemitism and fight extremist ideologies. Born and raised in Long Island to an Israeli mother and an Iranian father, Natalie draws on her multicultural background and lived experiences to inform her work and amplify voices that often go unheard. 

In October 2023, Natalie was visiting Israel when she narrowly survived the Nova music festival massacre, a traumatic and life-changing moment that shifted the entire trajectory of her life. In the aftermath, she dedicated herself fully to advocacy, turning her personal experience into a mission to raise awareness and fight hate in all its forms. Over the past year and a half, she has spoken to audiences across the United States and around the world, including in Florida, California, London,Israel, Germany, and Poland, sharing her story and engaging communities on the urgent need to push back against any rising antisemitism. 

Natalie also lived through the Rising Lion missile attacks, adding yet another layer of firsthand understanding to the dangers faced by civilians under threat and the emotional toll of modern-day conflict. 

At CAM, Natalie is leading the charge on an initiative that is particularly close to her heart. She is spearheading the Iranian Coalition, which brings together activists from a wide range of backgrounds to speak out against the regime in Tehran. Through a combination of powerful recorded campaigns and strategic social media collaborations, the coalition aims to shine a light on the regime’s human rights abuses and amplify the voices of those standing up for freedom, justice, and dignity, both inside Iran and in the diaspora. 

With a strong personal connection to the region and a growing platform, Natalie continues to be a powerful advocate for those fighting oppression and a passionate voice in the global movement for freedom.
