As a champion of change and an advocate for the underprivileged, Samir Zakir launched A New Era America (ANEA). The nonprofit organization stands at the intersection of need and innovation. ANEA is resolute in its commitment to addressing the urgent homeless crisis in Los Angeles, with a solid commitment to humanitarian causes and providing transformative solutions. ANEA is dedicated to aiding in the growth and well-being of marginalized individuals and communities. Echoing the sentiment of Zakir, the organization is steered by the shared purpose that unites humanity – love, and understanding.
Founder Samir Zakir, recognizing the scale of this pressing issue, identified the necessity for a robust partnership with the city’s leadership. Driven by this realization, Zakir fervently supported Mayor Karen Bass, an equally dedicated partner in this cause. The triumph of Mayor Bass was more than a political victory; it signaled the alignment of two visionary forces working towards a common goal.
With the ever-present issue of homelessness plaguing Los Angeles, Zakir felt the calling to provide immediate and sustainable solutions. This led to the conception of 4WARDSTEPS, a progressive initiative by ANEA designed to counteract the rampant homelessness crisis. As a staunch advocate and supporter of Mayor Bass and her vision, Zakir was inspired to create 4WARDSTEPS, executing their common vision for a better Los Angeles.
Beyond 4WARDSTEPS, the organization has also established The Fund, a unique financing program that aims to create diverse and accurate representations of marginalized groups in media and arts. By injecting funds into projects highlighting these communities’ narratives, struggles, achievements, and impact, ANEA seeks to reshape the entertainment industry’s landscape and ultimately drive societal change.
This summer, ANEA is set to unveil its ambitious Humanity United Movement. Designed to ignite global conversation around humanitarian issues within the U.S., this campaign taps into the collective strength of influencers, celebrities, and prominent figures. Utilizing their platform to generate awareness, the campaign invites active participation from the public in effecting change. It is a poignant reminder of our shared responsibility toward nurturing a more inclusive, compassionate, and empathetic society.
As ANEA begins its transformative journey, Zakir’s steadfast leadership fuels the commitment to fostering equality and making a tangible difference in the lives of those marginalized. It is an endeavor that mirrors the spirit of Zakir’s words – “When we nurture our well-being, pursue our passions with unwavering determination, embark on exhilarating adventures and experiences, and chase living our best lives, we unlock the true potential within us, enabling us to flourish.”
With Mayor Bass steering the city’s affairs, Zakir looks forward to an era of collaborative effort, anticipating the profound impact they could make together. Their combined drive and shared vision promise a decisive and lasting solution to the homelessness crisis that has long burdened the city of Los Angeles.
