Ali Procopio

Ali is the Director of Education and Workforce for FWD.us, a bipartisan political organization focused on fixing the failed immigration and criminal justice systems. In her work at FWD.us, spanning 10 years, she created new infrastructure to bring students, faculty, and staff into the immigration advocacy work that FWD.us engages in at the federal level. This includes founding the I Stand With Immigrants Day of Action in 2016. This annual event engages more than 200 colleges, universities, and organizations in acknowledging, supporting, and celebrating immigrants in their communities. In her role as the Director of Education and Workforce, Ali ensures that both higher education institutions and businesses have supportive policies for individuals directly impacted by our immigration system and that leaders in these institutions weigh in on critical federal policy issues related to immigration. Ali graduated from Dartmouth College in 2013 with a degree in Italian.
