Alison Green

Alison Green is a former campaign coordinator for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and current Chief of Staff at the Marijuana Policy Project.
During her time at PETA (1995-2001), Green made headlines for stunts such as throwing a pie at fashion designer Oscar de la Renta for his use of animal fur in his clothing line and, a year later, tossing another pie at Procter & Gamble CEO John Pepper, in protest of the company's animal testing.
Green also penned numerous op-eds for PETA, including some defending the organization's high-profile and controversial campaigns targeting McDonalds and other corporations. Green made headway bringing the animal-rights message into the conservative world, taking PETA's message to such conservative bastions as the College Republicans Convention and the pages of conservative newspapers, arguing that "there's nothing partisan about compassion for animals."
