Oriana (she/her/ella) is the Economic Justice Campaign Manager for ALIGN, and is responsible for building diverse partnerships, engaging broader audiences, and coordinating high-impact mobilizations for economic justice coalition campaigns.
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Oriana moved to NYC in 2016 and has been working in advocacy, coalition building, and political organizing at the City, State, and Federal level for nearly a decade.

While always centering the fight for immigrant rights, her passion for social justice and transformative systemic change also led her to work in local government at both the city and state level.
