Leah Cowan is a Palo Alto native who began her work in community organizing during Obama’s Presidential campaign in 2008. She learned first hand that community engagement and personally connecting with people was the best way to affect change. She went on to work for SEIU California, where she helped fight for working families in Sacramento.  She returned to the reelection campaign for Obama in North Carolina in 2012.  She then went on to manage a high profile Congressional race for Ro Khanna in 2014, a local race that registered hundreds of new voters in Silicon Valley. In 2016, Leah built a Parent Powered mobilization team for the children's nonprofit, Common Sense Media. Here she helped identify and train leaders to help engage parents across California to engage in ballot measures and the legislative process giving kids a voice in the hallways of power.
