Dear John,

 

We have exciting news—we have a new Executive Director, Theodore A. Moore!

Theo brings nearly 20 years of movement experience to ALIGN, most recently as the New York Immigration Coalition’s (NYIC) Vice President of Policy & Programs. Before that, he worked in the City Council, as an organizer with the Restaurant Opportunities Center and the Working Families Party, and was even among the original staff of ALIGN in 2012!

 

Here’s a picture of him rallying for a Walmart-free NYC, on the far left. This was one of ALIGN’s first campaigns uniting labor and community groups to challenge corporate power that drives down working conditions. We won, and NYC is Walmart-free to this day! 

As our new leader, Theo will work with our strong alliance of community and labor partners to win climate action, build worker power, and envision a just New York.

 

Please join us in welcoming Theo to the team and meet him at the 2023 Movement Builders Awards on October 11! Supporting our biggest annual fundraiser by buying a ticket or making a donation will ensure that we’re set up for success as we complete this transition.

We can’t wait to see what the future holds. 

 

In solidarity, 

The ALIGN team
