Leah Greenberg
Leah Greenberg is the co-founder and co-executive director of the Indivisible Project. Following the election of Donald Trump in 2016, Leah and her spouse Ezra Levin wrote a tactical guide to resisting the Trump agenda, drawing on their experience as former congressional staffers. The “Indivisible Guide” went viral, sparking the creation of thousands of local Indivisible groups in all fifty states. As co-executive director of the Indivisible Project, Leah now leads a staff in D.C. and across the country dedicated to supporting and empowering the Indivisible movement in advocacy, elections, and grassroots organizing.
Leah and Ezra have been honored on the TIME 100 list, as well as the Politico 50 List, GQ’s 50 Most Powerful People In Trump’s Washington and Roll Call’s People To Watch in 2019.
Before Indivisible, Leah was a human trafficking policy advocate. During the early Obama years, she worked in the office of Congressman Tom Perriello on Capitol Hill. Working for a progressive in the red fifth district of Virginia during the rise of the Tea Party, she saw firsthand the power that organized constituent power could have. After Perriello’s loss in 2010, Leah continued her work in human trafficking advocacy with Humanity United and as an Advisor to the State Department’s Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review.
