- ▸Attended CAIR's national leadership conference and appeared at an Emgage Action event alongside CAIR's executive director and Ilhan Omar
- ▸Campaigned with Hasan Piker at two Michigan universities — who said 'America deserved 9/11,' called for followers to 'let the streets soak in f***ing red-capitalist blood,' and glorified Taliban fighters. El-Sayed refused to disavow Piker's comments.
