@kron4tv spoke with Yasmin Bishr—the former nurse at MarinHealth Medical Center, who was forced to resign following harassment over her “Free Palestine” badge reel—and CAIR-SFBA Executive Director Zahra Billoo.

CAIR-SFBA filed a formal complaint on behalf of Yasmin with the California Civil Rights Department.

Zahra stated: “We are confident that this discriminatory behavior will be addressed and resolved. Yasmin deserves not only an apology but also training for management on employee rights and non-discriminatory practices.”

The City acknowledged the impact of its actions and apologized for the harm caused. We welcome this positive first step toward healing. Thank you to all community members who advocated for this apology and have relentlessly called for a ceasefire. Your voices matter!

In a statement, CAIR-SFBA Executive Director @zahr

In a statement, CAIR-SFBA Executive Director @zahrabilloo said:

We are deeply disturbed by the overt racism exhibited in this video. The firefighter’s statements are not only reprehensible but also indicative of a broader issue of unchecked bias within public service roles.

We welcome ACFD’s decision to investigate the incident and urge a comprehensive and transparent process with decisive action to ensure this type of behavior is not tolerated within their ranks. The community deserves better from those who have sworn to serve and protect them.
