Ana María Archila (born 1978/1979)[1] is an American attorney and activist serving as co-director of the New York Working Families Party.[2] She previously ran for Lieutenant Governor of New York in 2022. She was formerly the co-executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD) and a co-founder and co-executive director of Make the Road New York and Make the Road Action.[3][4][5]

In New York, she advocated for education reform, helping lead campaigns to fully fund public schools, create school-based college access programs, and pass the New York Dream Act. She was also deeply involved in the fights for paid sick days, raising the minimum wage, and a range of other progressive campaigns. She has also been a leader in the fight for immigration reform.

Archila received national attention when she confronted former Arizona Senator Jeff Flake just before the Senate Judiciary Committee's vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, leading to a delay in the process. She joined Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a guest of honor at the 2019 State of the Union.[6]
