Eman Abdelhadi: “F*** the University of Chicago… but it’s my best shot at power.”
At Socialism 2025, @UChicago professor Eman Abdelhadi called her employer “evil colonial landlord."
Use it. Organize it. Seize its structural leverage.

Here’s Abdul El-Sayed’s sister, Eman Abdelhadi, saying she’s using her position at the University of Chicago to gain power and to organize political movements.
“F*** the University of Chicago… but it’s my best shot at power.”
“We don’t have power… but I work at one of the biggest employers in Chicago… a place with thousands of people I could potentially organize… This is where I need to build power.”
She openly says it’s “brutal” organizing academics. But despite her disdain, Abdelhadi sees the university as a tactical weapon—to build a Palestine-aligned political base from within.
Just imagine what she’d do with a brother in the U.S. Senate.
