Born in the province of Sancti Spiritu, Cuba, Jorge Mursuli immigrated with his family to Brooklyn, New York, in 1967. He received his bachelor of science degree from the University of Florida.

In 1993 Mursuli joined SAVE Dade (Safeguarding American Values for Everyone), an organization whose goal, among other things, was to secure the passage of an amendment to the Miami-Dade County Human Rights Ordinance that would include sexual orientation as a category protected by law from discrimination in employment, financing, public accommodation and housing. In 1997, Mursuli took over SAVE Dade as executive director; in December 1998, the Miami-Dade County Commission adopted the amendment.

In 2001, Mursuli joined People For the American Way (PFAW) Foundation and PFAW and as the Florida state director. In September 2002, PFAW, together with SAVE Dade, led the fight, and was victorious against a repeal of the sexual orientation clause in Miami-Dade’s Human Rights Ordinance.

In 2004 PFAW Foundation, in partnership with the Center for Immigrant Democracy, launched Democracia U.S.A. with Mursuli as the national executive director. In August 2005 Mursuli was promoted to vice president of PFAW and PFAW Foundation, while maintaining his role as Florida director of PFAW and PFAW Foundation.

Mursuli served on the Board of the Greater Miami Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. He is the former chair of the Miami-Dade County Community Relations Board Task Force on Police/Community Relations. Currently, he serves on the National Board of the League of Conservation Voters.
