Ahmed Gaya, Consultant

Home base: Portland, OR
I am a campaign and organizational strategy nerd, driven by a fierce passion for the social justice work we advance at Aril Consulting.
I’ve spent 14 years working and living in environmental and social justice struggles. In that time I’ve founded organizations like the Prison Ecology Project; written messaging for congressional candidates; helped build the largest and most diverse coalition in Washington state history; run statewide and national electoral programs; raised millions of dollars for progressive work; and trained thousands of activists and hundreds of staff across all levels of progressive organizations. I’m a bit of a jack of all trades and genuinely enjoy almost every aspect of this work, but enjoy training and coaching the most.
I joined the Aril Consulting team in 2015. I love helping organizations develop their vision and tell their story.
