WOL leader, Nardeen Kiswani, is a Palestinian-American born in Jordan.
She was involved in the establishment of NYC SJP in 2015, forming a coalition of chapters across the City University of New York schools.
NYC SJP then evolved into WOL in 2018.
Head of WOL, Nerdeen Kiswani, posted on X/Twitter on October 8, 2024, that "October 7th has always been a day against Nazism, and now it's counterpart Zionism!" while comparing Palestinian "resistance" to a Jewish revolt in Auschwitz-Birkenau which occurred on October 7, 1944.
In June 2024, WOL commemorated the massacre at the Nova Music Festival by setting off flares, waving Hamas flags, and displaying banners with messages that read, "Long live October 7" and "The Zionists are not Jews and not humans."
