Hadiya Masieh, Founder,
Groundswell Project
Hadiya first joined the PopTech community as a presenter in 2018, returning in 2019 as a PopTech Fellow in the run-up to launching the Groundswell Project. By building empathy at the community level, Groundswell has made significant strides over the last two years raising ground-level consciousness that aims to reduce prejudice, hate and extremism. Through the establishment of an interactive online community resource mapper and a variety of the community-based initiatives, Groundswell is helping vulnerable people avoid extremist recruiters. Their work during the pandemic and in response to the Afghan refugee crisis has been remarkable. Stay up to date on progress and calls to action via Twitter and the Groundswell Newsletter.

Groundswell has made extraordinary commitments throughout the pandemic to new immigrants and marginalized communities across the UK. One example is their food relief program, which provided support to vulnerable individuals.
