Gina Waldman shares how she became a lifelong human rights activist. Born in Libya, she fled with her family in 1967 with only $20.

Gina is a living example of how one person can make a difference in the world. She uses passive resistance and civil disobedience in a peaceful and respectful way. She shares stories of the hardships of being a jew in an Arab country, and how she helped many people leave their country for a better life. She was instrumental in winning freedom for thousands of Soviet Jews, some of which she shares with us today.

Gina speaks 5 languages and has traveled through the world helping others. Her over 30 years of this work include numerous accomplishments, from testifying before the United Nations and US Congress on Human Rights to receiving the Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award.
