In January 2009, after a lifetime of working in non-profits and politics, Nomiki Konst decided to pursue her dream to found a non-profit advocacy group. The group, Alliance Hollywood, is the first advocacy group that organizes the entertainment industry to relay messages and raise money to lobby for social causes on Capitol Hill. Alliance Hollywood has developed an agenda specifically geared towards issues that have been neglected and out funded by corporate lobbyist groups. We work with the entertainment industry to organize the funds and people that are passionate about these issues to ultimately take on the corporate interests.
It is a unique concept to "clean lobby" but we have made it a mission to do so. We not only lobby to lawmakers, but we educate the public. We host monthly salons that break down our agenda. We bring in speakers, filmmakers and entertainers to help educate. AH's agenda includes: Reforming and Nationalizing Education, Homelessness, Reforming FDA/USDA standards (Food, Water & Prescription Drugs) and National Green standards.
