Background

About Aliya Bhatia

Aliya Bhatia is the Director of Partnerships & Coalitions for American Promise. American Promise has a simple, crosspartisan, and powerful goal: passage of the For Our Freedom constitutional amendment to restore reasonable limits on money in our campaigns and elections. Previously, Aliya served as the Executive Director of Vot-ER, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to integrate civic engagement into healthcare. From its beginnings in 2020, Vot-ER scaled rapidly to support 900 hospitals and healthcare professionals to help their colleagues and patients to vote. Vot-ER has appeared in the New York Times, the Guardian, the Stanford Social Innovation Review, the Washington Post, NBC, CNN, NPR, and more. More than anything, Aliya relishes working at the crossroads between different fields and disciplines. She loves projects and conversations that cut across topics such as democracy, diversity, leadership, education, housing, health, technology, policy, and international politics. Aliya loves building teams and designing strategy to take innovative organizations to new heights in their reach and impact. Outside of work, Aliya enjoys spending time with her friends, mentors, and former students. She dabbles in the arts and can occasionally be found practicing improv or painting. She is a proud Georgia native and an alumna of Purpose Built Communities.
