Jane F. McAlevey (born October 12, 1964 in New York City, New York) is a union and community organizer, educator and author. ==Background== Jane McAlevey has been involved in social movements and political campaigns throughout her entire life. McAlevey was the youngest of seven children, and her mother died of breast cancer when she was not yet in kindergarten. Her father was a locally elected politician—the county executive of Rockland County—who had innovated progressive land use planning concepts in suburban New York. As a little girl, she was exposed to raucous campaign politics. By junior high school she was engaging in politics of her own, organizing student strikes and walk-outs over issues ranging from stopping nuclear energy to the possible reinstatement of the draft. While at the State University of New York at Buffalo, in the spring of 1984 she was elected student government president at age 19, sweeping all six offices with her slate of candidates. She went on to be the president of the Student Association of the State University of New York (SASU), one of its most effective presidents. She orchestrated the takeover of the SUNY business office which resulted in the SUNY trustees voting to divest the university system from entities doing business in South Africa.
