About Darializa Avila Chevalier
Darializa Avila Chevalier is a working-class Afro-Latina who has been organizing in upper Manhattan for a fairer, more equitable, and more affordable New York City all her life. As a Columbia alumna, she was also a lead organizer of the encampment on Columbia's campus in 2023-2024, standing in solidarity with Palestinians and urging Columbia to divest its endowment from companies profiting from Israel’s genocide and apartheid system, in compliance with demands from the Boycott, Divest, Sanction movement. When her friend and fellow organizer at Columbia's encampment, Mahmoud Khalil was abducted by ICE from his apartment building in March 2025, she organized and advocated for his release, and his reunion with his wife and newborn son. She is currently a public defense investigator at the Neighborhood Defenders Services of Harlem. Through her work, she is a card-carrying member of the UAW and organizes her fellow rank-and-file members across NYC. During the 2025 election cycle, she also served as an organizing lead for Zohran Mamdani’s successful — and historic — campaign for Mayor.
