About Ali


After serving as president & chief executive officer of the National Immigration Forum for 14 years, Ali Noorani is a Fellow at the Arizona State University Social Transformation Lab and author of “There Goes the Neighborhood: How Communities Overcome Prejudice and Meet the Challenge of American Immigration,” (Prometheus, April 2017) and “Crossing Borders: The Reconciliation of a Nation of Immigrants,” (Rowman & Littlefield, April 2022),

Ali provides a principled and reasoned voice on immigration policy and politics at the local, national and global level. He has appeared in the majority of mainstream television, radio and print outlets and is a regular speaker at conferences and campuses across the country.

Through the development of innovative constituency, communications and advocacy strategies at the Forum, a nonpartisan advocacy organization working with faith, law enforcement and business leaders to promote the value of immigrants and immigration, Ali is one of the nation’s most creative coalition builders.

Ali is also an Emerson Dial Fellow, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, holds a Master’s in Public Health from Boston University and is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. Ali lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Toya Gavin.
