Radhika Sainath is an attorney at Hadsell Stormer in Los Angeles, California, where she specializes in civil rights, housing and human rights law. She recently returned from a 7-day National Lawyers Guild delegation to Gaza to investigate potential Israeli war crimes during the December 27 invasion. Prior to becoming an attorney, Ms. Sainath organized low-wage workers with the Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees (now UNITE HERE). From 2002-2003, Ms. Sainath lived and worked in the West Bank, where she worked with Palestinian and Israeli nonviolent resistance groups. Ms. Sainath traveled to Pakistan in January 2008 -- days after Bhutto's assassination -- on an NLG fact-finding mission to assess the status of the judiciary and the prospect of free and fair elections. Ms. Sainath received her J.D. from the University of California Berkeley, School of Law and her B.A. in political science and sociology from the University of California, San Diego. Sainath is an editor of Peace Under Fire: Israel/Palestine and the International Solidarity Movement (Verso 2004).
