New Yorker Natalie Sanandaji, who survived Oct. 7, turns to advocacy work to find strength: 'That's why I'm here today'

"The person I was before Oct. 7 was much more naive. It was blissful. It was so much easier than who I am now."

"I was running for my life, being shot at, rockets exploding over your head. It was an endless hours-long odyssey to survive."

"It's not Israel that tried to kill me. The party didn't try to kill me. Hamas tried to kill me."

"This is what I want to do most on that day - to be a part of something that feels meaningful."
