Who we are

The Alliance for American Leadership (https://A4AL.org/) is a political action committee dedicated to reforming global aid and restoring American leadership on the world stage. Our team spans all 50 states and works to engage lawmakers and the public in support of aid programs that fight poverty, strengthen alliances, and boost America's economy.

We’re powered entirely by volunteers - every member of our team serves without pay. Our coalition includes voices from USAID, Congress, the Pentagon, State, and over 80 college campuses. Our team includes Congressman Tim Mahoney, Major General Bo Mahaney, and Wesleyan University President Michael Roth. Together, we’re building a generation of informed, engaged leaders ready to make global aid a public priority. Reach out to govrelations@A4AL.org if you want to join our team.

The Crisis

On January 24, 2025, the United States cut off access to food, medicine, and education for 120 million people across the globe. Since then, over 600,000 lives have been lost - among them, Peter Donde, a 10-year-old boy who died after losing access to HIV medication.

Unless Congress restores these programs, a study in The Lancet warns that up to 14 million more lives could be lost by 2030.

We won't let that happen without a fight.

What We Do

A4AL drafts policy, lobbies Congress, mobilizes grassroots support, and backs the congressional campaigns of key Members of Congress who support foreign aid.

And it works

Built a national network of over 1,100 advocates in all 50 states
Founded 80 university chapters, creating a vibrant network of young advocates across the country
Supported James Walkinshaw in his successful run for Congress
Held more than 700 meetings with Members of Congress, ensuring young people have a seat at the table and pressing lawmakers to stand up for humanitarian aid
Featured on ABC News twice, WTOP, Florida Politics, and Shore News Network

Now, it’s time to grow each of our campus chapters and create a national movement.
