“Alana Lewis brings 14 years of legislative and political experience, dedicated to empowering communities through her advocacy in the labor movement with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO and American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO. In her most recent role, Alana served as the Climate Investments Federal Policy Manager for Dream.Org Green for All, where she championed integrating equity principles, like the Justice 40 Initiative, into government agency implementation frameworks to advance climate and economic justice. Her work reflected a deep passion for driving a just transition to a green economy grounded in community-centered solutions to benefit disadvantaged communities economically. She has spent the year speaking at various programs and conferences with organizations like ASPEN Idea’s, Croatan Institute, Advanced Energy Group, City Parks Alliance, and the annual C2ER Conference.
Alana firmly believes in the transformative power of knowledge-sharing as a vital tool for empowerment and lasting change. She learned the importance of serving the community through her family by educating and empowering others through the political process. Alana’s unwavering passion for advocacy is deeply inspired by her grandmother, Cordelia Lewis Burks—a trailblazing political activist and retired Vice Chair of the Indiana Democratic Party—whose lifelong commitment to leadership, dignity, and the fight for equality and economic justice for working families serves as a guiding force in Alana’s work. Alana holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Hampton University and resides in Philadelphia, PA.”
