Leadership

Neha Mahajan

Term:

Since Oct 2008

Profile:

Neha has supported social justice and community organizing in various capacities for nearly a decade. She has been a volunteer, educator and activist around issues such as immigrant rights, anti-oppression, youth development, violence against women, the prison industrial complex and global economic justice. After receiving a B.A. in Sociology from Harvard University and interning at various social justice organizations in the Northeast, Neha taught and advocated for underrepresented students at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. She has also visited her home country of India to support local struggles around environmental justice and corporate globalization. As former Chinook volunteer, program staff and now director, she is committed to advancing Chinook's progressive movement-building mission. 

Leadership Statement:

<p >Chinook’s history of intentional anti-oppression work brought us staff, board and volunteer leadership that is more diverse, constituent-led and reflective of the communities we fund. And, in a time when “non-profit” and “social justice” often seem to contradict each other, Chinook led the way by adopting a new model of collective leadership to embody our values in the operations of our organization. We know that the fruits of today would not exist without all of you - our donors, activists and allies who have watered Chinook’s growth with years of strategic thinking, dedicated energy and consistent support. We hope to build on this legacy and continue to refresh the original inspiration of Chinook to keep it ever-relevant and responsive to social justice movements on the ground.</p><div align="left"><div> </div> </div>
