Amy Spitalnick
CEO of Bend the Arc, Former Executive Director at Integrity First for America & Civil Rights Activist
A granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, Amy Spitalnick has spent her career in pursuit of a more just and equitable society.
Spitalnick is currently the CEO of Bend the Arc after serving as Executive Director of Integrity First for America (IFA), which won its groundbreaking lawsuit against the leaders at the core of the white supremacist movement, on behalf of a multiracial coalition of Charlottesville community members. In so doing, she helped educate and engage Americans on white supremacy, racial injustice, and how our futures are interconnected across religion, race, and place.
Before her work at IFA, Spitalnick led communications and policy for the New York Attorney General’s office during crucial years of resistance to Trump’s dangerous policies. She has also worked at New York City Hall and on various local, state, and federal campaigns and advocacy organizations.
Spitalnick frequently appears in national media and has been awarded a number of fellowships and honors, including being named a Women inPower Fellow at the 92nd Street Y, a Truman National Security Project Fellow, a City & State 40 Under 40 Rising Star, and a New York Jewish Week 36 Under 36 Changemaker. She also serves as a Senior Advisor on extremism to Human Rights First.
