About Allison Jordan

Passionate about building safer communities through research-driven policy solutions, I have over five years of experience in gun violence prevention, legislative advocacy, and coalition-building. As a Policy Analyst at the Center for American Progress, I focus on developing policies that center racial equity and justice, ensuring that resources and legislative efforts uplift the communities most impacted by gun violence. Throughout my career, I’ve worked on key policy areas such as safe storage, extreme risk protection orders, gun industry accountability, and community violence intervention at the state and federal level. I thrive on collaboration—engaging with legislators, public health experts, survivors, and grassroots advocates to drive meaningful change. Beyond policy, I’ve led national convenings, organized advocacy trainings, and provided strategic guidance to state and local leaders on advancing gun safety laws. Dedicated to actionable change, I’m always eager to connect with like-minded professionals committed to preventing gun violence and promoting public safety.
