Bushra Amiwala BiographyBushra Amiwala is an activist, DePaul University Junior and former candidate for the Cook County Board of Commissioners. At the age of 19 she announced her candidacy for the Cook County Board of Commissioners to serve as a voice for her underrepresented generation and other marginalized communities.
Her campaign was covered nationally by TIME magazine, Teen Vogue, Scholastic Magazine, Seventeen magazine and more. Amiwala's passion for various issues and organizations lead her to run for office in 2016 and her campaign resulted in historical voter turnout, making her a strong second with 13,500 votes. She was the youngest person and first Muslim woman to ever run for this seat and was named Glamour Magazine’s "College Woman of the Year" for 2018 and is on HerCampus’ "22 Under 22 Most Inspiring Women" list. Bushra was awarded the Public Peace Ambassador award from Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), a nonprofit organization sponsored by the United Nations.
Throughout her campaign, Amiwala conducted independent research in segregated Chicagoland neighborhoods to better understand housing discrimination, redlining, and gentrification. She collaborated with Northside Power, canvassing and engaging with her community daily to see first-hand the issues facing her neighbors.
Amiwala serves on the Board of Directors of the Indo-American Democratic Organization (IADO) and of Women Empowering Women In Local Legislation (WeWill), as its youngest board member. She also serves on the Board of Advisers for GenVote, an organization that seeks to mobilize young people in politics. Bushra hopes to one day be the CEO of her non-profit organization, and is currently the Marketing and Sales director for three different start up companies.
