Allison McGuire
Congressional Outreach Director
Allison McGuire brings to NSN congressional, human and civil rights, and international experience through her work on Capitol Hill, with organizations such as MassEquality, and UK Member of Parliament Karen Buck’s office. She moved to NSN from her job as National Security & Human Right Program Director at ProgressiveCongress.org, where she served as a conduit between the Congressional Progressive Caucus and outside allies. Through distilling relevant reports, convening briefings and hearings, and moderating panels, Allison created an extensive network and echo chamber on and off Capitol Hill. Prior to ProgressiveCongress.org, she served as the Senior Democratic Fellow on the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission under the Committee of Foreign Affairs in the U.S. House of Representatives. She is a Human Rights and National Security Reform Fellow with the Rockwood Leadership Institute and a Partner with the Truman National Security Project.
