At age 11, Mallory became a member of NAN to learn more about the civil rights movement. By the time Mallory turned 15, she was a staff member at NAN. Mallory went on to become the youngest Executive Director at NAN. After working at NAN for 14 years, Mallory stepped down from her position as executive director in 2013 to follow her own activism goals. Mallory explains that she still takes part in NAN's work, by attending rallies and recruiting members.

Mallory, alongside Bob Bland, Carmen Perez, and Linda Sarsour, organized the Women's March, a worldwide protest on January 21, 2017. The march was a protest against the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump, and also advocated women's rights, immigration reform, LGBTQIA rights, health-care reform, environmental reform, racial justice, and racial equality.

The leaders of the Women's March mobilized in Washington, D. C., and sister marches occurred worldwide. An estimated 500,000 people attended the Washington, D. C., march. The Women's March website said that total worldwide participation was nearly five million. According to British newspaper The Independent the march may have been the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.

Following her time at NAN, Mallory continued as an activist working on topics such as gun control, women's rights, and police violence. Following the murder of her son's father, she has worked to create stronger gun restriction laws.[citation needed] Mallory worked closely with the Obama administration on gun control legislation,[citation needed] advising Joe Biden and working to pass new legislation.[citation needed]

In 2014, Mallory was selected to serve on the transition committee of the New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. During that time, she helped create the NYC Crisis Management System, an official gun violence prevention program which awards $20 million annually to gun violence prevention organizations.[6] She also served as the co-chair for a new initiative through the Crisis Management System, Gun Violence Awareness Month.

Mallory is the president of her own firm, Mallory Consulting, a strategic planning and event management firm in New York City. She is currently on the board of directors for Gathering for Justice, an organization aimed at ending child incarceration and working to eliminate policies that produce mass incarceration
