About us , about me
My name is Sadat Iqbal. I’m a researcher and social worker committed to promoting public health and community empowerment.
I’m a first generation immigrant, New Yorker, queer person of color, and harm reduction advocate. I draw inspiration for my work from groups like ACT UP and the everyday heroes who make our world hum with possibility.
My journey has been guided by a passion for data-driven initiatives that promote health equity and social justice. I have over a decade of experience spanning government, non-profit, and private sectors in New York and New Jersey. While I’ve been involved in different fields of practice including sexual and LGBTQ health, and immigrant rights organizing, my primary focus has been on substance use harm reduction and overdose prevention.
I enjoy collaborating with thoughtful human beings engaged in intersectional organizing. Please reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
Expertise in Action
I bring a wealth of professional experience, from direct service to consulting for treatment providers and conducting research for a leading public health agency.
Deep Community Ties
I have cultivated deep ties within the harm reduction community and a steadfast commitment to ending the overdose crisis. This dedication drives my mission to support organizations and communities facing challenges stemming from the opioid epidemic.
