Priya Sawhney was born in 1989 in Chandigarh, Punjab, India, and is a Sikh immigrant to the USA.[1] She is a co-founder of Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) and of Compassionate Bay.[2][3] She is currently an elected member of the DxE steering committee and San Francisco Bay core team.[4][5] She is currently one of the lead organizers of Compassionate Bay.[3]

One of the actions that Sawhney organized as well as her personal story were the focus of a short documentary in The Intercept, in which she told her story of being called a terrorist mainly because of the color of her skin and for being an immigrant.[6]

Prior to her fellowship and work for DxE, Sawhney worked for the Tenderloin Housing Clinic.[7][8][9] She organized protests for the Tenderloin Housing Clinic to advocate for tenant rights. She led the pedestrian rights campaign as a part of her work for the Tenderloin Housing Alliance.[7] She co-organized undercover investigations of hotels that were breaking tenant laws.[7]

In 2014, she founded Animal Liberationists of Color.[10][9] She was also one of the first speakers at an animal rights conference to discuss the similarity between racism and speciesism.[9]

As a part of her work for DxE, Sawhney led two mass open rescues: Saba Live Poultry in Oakland, California in October 2017 and Mass Open Rescue in Petaluma, California in May 2018.[11][12] The former event had over 200 activists participate and the latter had over 500.[6] Sawhney was one of 50+ activists who were arrested at the "mass open rescue" in Petaluma, CA and charged with multiple felonies.[13]
