Sarah Sophie Flicker is a Jewish-American creative director, performer, activist, and writer. She is a founding member of the political cabaret troupe The Citizens Band and has long been at the forefront of movements for feminism, civil rights, and climate justice.
Flicker was a key organizer of the 2017 Women’s March, where she helped craft the protest narratives that resonated across the country. She also collaborated with Jane Fonda on the Fire Drill Fridays climate protests. Her career is characterized by infusing activism with “artistry,” using visually striking performances and messaging to bring complex political issues into the mainstream. She has been repeatedly recognized by major media outlets as one of the most influential modern organizers.
Flicker is a courageous voice in the Jewish anti-occupation movement, frequently collaborating with Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP). She argues that the core of Judaism lies in resisting injustice, not just ethnic identity. She has signed numerous artists’ letters calling for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the blockade of Gaza. She has stated: “As a Jewish woman, I was taught to pursue justice, and justice cannot be selective. We cannot talk about feminism and human rights on one hand while remaining silent about the systemic oppression of Palestinians on the other. My Jewishness compels me to stand with the oppressed, whoever they are.”
