Alli brings over a decade of experience as an organizer, policy advocate, and movement researcher, focused on AI and the data economy, state and corporate surveillance, and immigration policing.
At AI Now, Alli leads collaboration with communities and organizations facing AI-enabled harms and fighting for alternatives. Alli’s work includes popular education, public engagement, and strategic support to equip people to challenge the negative impacts of AI infrastructure and systems on our work, health, rights, and daily lives.
Alli came to tech policy work through fights for immigrant and worker rights, from frontline casework, to deportation defense, to local and national campaign strategy. Alli previously led research and organizing against DHS policing and ICE surveillance with the Immigrant Defense Project and Surveillance Resistance Lab, which they helped launch as an independent organization. Most recently, as Director of Campaigns at Kairos Fellows, Alli supported national efforts to counter the tech sector’s harms to Black, brown, and working people, including challenging data center expansion. Alli’s past work also includes founding the casework department at the Migrant Community Center, a grassroots feminist organization in Lebanon focused on the rights of migrant domestic workers and refugees.
Alli served for four years on the Board of Directors at FRIDA | The Young Feminist Fund and has worked with a range of grassroots organizers on holistic security and crisis response. Alli holds an M.A. in Sociology from the American University of Beirut.
