Ana Maria Archila

Ana María Archila (born 1978/1979)[1] is an American attorney and activist serving as co-director of the New York Working Families Party.

[8] She attended Montclair State University before becoming a staff member of the Latin American Integration Center (LAIC) in Staten Island and Queens.

Archila advocated on behalf of parents with limited English language skills in Staten Island and Queens, New York, to obtain more information about their children's education.

[14] She continued her decades-long work advocating for immigration reform centered on a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented people.

[21] Archila said Puerto Rico was not getting responsive assistance from the US federal government, because the United States Congress did not view the locality as within their representation duties.

[22] On September 28, 2018, US Senator Jeff Flake announced his intention to vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who had been accused of sexual assault by a number of women, including Christine Blasey Ford, who testified for several hours before the Senate Judiciary Committee the day before Flake's announcement.

[29] Archilla received endorsements from dozens of other elected officials and advocacy groups across the state, including the Working Families Party, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, Rep. Nydia Velázquez, and New York City Comptroller Brad Lander.

[32][33] In 2023, Archila and education activist Jasmine Gripper were named co-directors of the New York chapter of the Working Families Party.
