Allison has dedicated her entire career to the labor movement, working in organizing, state legislative research, policy analysis, international trade, training and facilitation, people and culture, and leadership development with private sector, federal employee, and public sector unions. At the Solidarity Center she partnered with union leaders and civil society leaders from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East-North Africa, helping them align organizational culture to social justice values—all in service of building power for working people. These transformative partnerships shape Allison’s own leadership approach, in which she centers humility, curiosity, and intersectional awareness. Allison cut her teeth in labor as a boycott organizer for Unite Here and brought her organizing grit to the American Postal Workers Union and the American Federation of Teachers. During her decade at the AFT she supported state legislative campaigns to improve public education, relieve student debt, protect bargaining rights for public employees and advance a pro-worker agenda. She represented AFT President Randi Weingarten as her cleared advisor to the U.S. Trade Representative's Labor Advisory Council. This role exposed her to global fights for worker rights and led to her nomination to serve as the AFL-CIO's youth representative to the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas. Today she serves on the board of the Trade Justice Education Fund. She holds a master’s degree in public policy from Georgetown University and a certificate in diversity and inclusion from Cornell University.
