Our Founder & President

Yassar Dahbour is the President and founding member of the Palestine American League (PAL), a grassroots organization dedicated to advancing the rights, dignity, and liberation of the Palestinian people. A lifelong Palestinian-American activist, Yassar has been at the forefront of organizing in Northern California and beyond for over three decades, building bridges between local communities and global struggles for justice.

Yassar’s approach is grounded in the belief that true liberation is rooted in community power, principled solidarity, and a refusal to remain silent in the face of oppression. Whether organizing mass mobilizations, meeting with elected officials, or mentoring the next generation of Palestinian leaders, Yassar brings unwavering clarity, compassion, and conviction to the movement. His work continues to inspire all those who believe in a free Palestine and a just world.
