"I am the proud daughter of immigrant parents from Pakistan who came to New York City with courage, an unshakable belief in possibility, and the determination to build a future here. This city gave us opportunity, stability, and the chance to put down roots, just as it has for generations of immigrants before us, Ali said. New York City is not just home to immigrants, it is powered by them."
"Ali, the daughter of Pakistani immigrants and raised in Brooklyn, most recently served on Mamdani's transition committee on government operations. At the Council, she rose from community liaison in 2014 to director of the Community Engagement Division, before serving as first deputy chief of staff to former Council Speaker Adrienne Adams. She reportedly left that role voluntarily the day before the first stated meeting of the year, as Council Speaker Julie Menin took over and implemented staffing changes."
"She also previously worked at the Arab American Association of New York, served as director of community affairs at CAIR-NY, and co-founded the Muslim Democratic Club of New York, where she organized alongside Mamdani. The mayor last month selected another co-founder of the progressive group, his longtime advisor and election attorney, Ali Najmi, to chair the Mayor's Advisory Committee on the Judiciary."
