George Isaac ({{lang-arz|جورج إسحاق}}) is an Egyptian politician and activist. During the later part of Hosni Mubarak's presidency, he co-founded the grassroots Kefaya opposition movement.

Following the 2011 Egyptian Revolution that toppled Mubarak, Issac became a member of the Constitution Party and a critic of President Mohamed Morsi, elected in 2012. He is a member of the Coptic Catholic Church.[3][4]

Early years

Born and raised in Port Said, Isaac graduated from Cairo University with a BA in history and began his career as a teacher and later as a consultant.[5] Politically active at a young age, he was a member of Egypt's Constitution Party.[2][3]

Political activism

Isaac was a founding member, leader, and coordinator of the Kefaya opposition group, the unofficial moniker of the National Association for Change, a grassroots coalition which prior to the 2011 revolution drew its support from across Egypt’s political spectrum.[6][7][8][9] It was a platform for protest against Hosni Mubarak’s presidency; political corruption and stagnation; "the blurring of the lines between power and wealth; and human rights.[10][11]

During the 2012 Egyptian protests, Isaac urged President Mohamed Morsi to withdraw his constitutional declaration.[3] On 8 December, after Morsi sought to address some of the protesters' demands, Isaac said that Morsi’s new declaration "does not answer people’s demands", and the work would continue.[12]
