Naomi Wadler

Wadler told Elle in April 2018 that she had been the victim of racism at her school because of her Jewish and Ethiopian heritages.

On March 14, 2018, Wadler helped organize a walkout of 60 fellow classmates at George Mason Elementary School.

Wadler subsequently spoke at the Women in the World Annual Summit and the Teen Vogue summit. Wadler received a standing ovation for her speech at the Tribeca Film Festival, where she received the Disruptive Innovation Award. Wadler mentioned a black woman who was killed in the Nashville Waffle House shooting on April 22, 2018, along with three black men. Wadler asserted that the perpetrator had been offered a bail, which was revoked after additional criminal charges, because he was white. Wadler was also a guest at The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She spoke at the 2020 Davos Economic Forum highlighting racial disparities in addressing gun violence against black females in the United States saying: "White girls’ lives matter so much more than any black girl who dies in the inner city, or on the way to school. We don’t hear about them, they’re statistics." She was named one of Teen Vogue's "21 Under 21" and shared a New York Magazine cover with fellow-Jewish star Barbara Streisand.

Wadler was adopted by Julie Wadler from an Ethiopian orphanage in 2007. Wadler's mother also adopted another daughter in 2009.

Naomi Wadler (born October 16, 2006) is an American student and activist against gun violence. She has made speeches advocating for victims of gun violence in the United States, especially black female victims, most notably at the anti-gun protest March for Our Lives. She attends Maret School in Washington, DC.
