Education
After graduating from the University of Puerto Rico, Gallisá practiced labor law. He became politicized through the Vieques protests against the United States Navy.[1]

Gallisá has suffered harassment due to his politics, including a firebombing of his law office. He has testified at the United Nations on the decolonization issue.[1]
Following the disbanding of the PSP in 1993, Gallisá became a leader of the New Puerto Rican Independence Movement and later the Hostosian National Independence Movement. He is also a columnist for the newspaper Claridad ("Clarity") and a regular news commentator on "Fuego Cruzado" ("Crossfire"), a radio program aired by WSKN-AM in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[1]
