Winning bidder will receive two tickets for open seating to hear Ayaan Hirsi Ali on January 20, 2016 at Heinz Hall

Named in 2005 by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, Ali is known for her views critical of radical Islam and its suppression of women. Born in Somalia, she sought political asylum in the Netherlands to avoid a forced marriage and was later elected to the Dutch Parliament. Now a U.S. citizen, Ali’s best-selling memoir is titled Infidel.
