Board member
Leah Jo Carnine (she/her) is a community organizer and family medicine healthcare provider who recently moved to her hometown of Eugene after being part of migrant and racial justice organizing in the Southwest for over a decade. As a white, class privileged femme, she is deeply committed to SURJ because she believes that white people have a stake in the fight against racism, and we must be organized into powerful multi-racial, cross-class movements for justice to get everyone free. She’s passionate about the intersections of transformative health care and collective liberation, and enjoys making art, playing banjo, hiking, and hanging with her little dog and beloved community.
