Izzy has spent over a decade recruiting, training, and mobilizing activists and leaders and helping organizing and advocacy programs staff up and get alignment on values so that they can run impactful organizing campaigns. Throughout the past twelve years, she has worked with a wide range of stakeholders and partners from Alaska Native Nations working to protect the Arctic from threats of drilling and development, to college students fighting for healthcare, to large national nonprofits working to design and implement relational organizing, to everyday citizens organizing to build power for their communities and win lasting change. Today, she works with large and small organizations to structure departments, campaigns, and programs by centering social and racial equity in hiring, campaigning, and throughout our movements and the organizations that power them. Based in Brooklyn, NY, she completed a Master's of Urban Policy and Leadership at Hunter College focused on housing, climate change, and building sustainable, just futures throughout our cities. She is passionate about supporting organizations that share that vision.
When she’s not organizing she enjoys power lifting, baking, or playing with her dog, Bailey.

Laura is an organizer and trainer working at the intersection of climate, culture, and power. She currently serves as Executive Director of Clean Creatives, leading a global community of creatives working to end fossil fuel influence in advertising and PR through research, organizing, and narrative strategy.
She has spent her career helping people navigate moments where change feels both necessary and risky. From leading a national organizing program at the Sierra Club that resulted in over 200 communities committing to 100% clean energy, to reproductive rights work at NARAL (now Reproductive Freedom for All), to building Clean Creatives into a movement with over 1,500 pledged agencies, her work has always centered on cultivating trust and developing resilient leaders.
That through line traces back to her time teaching in the Navajo Nation, where she learned the value of inclusive process and genuine participation. She holds an MBA in Nonprofit Management from Alaska Pacific University and believes lasting change comes from deep listening and giving people the space to recognize their own power.
She chooses both red and green chile, knows what to do during bear encounters, and can't wait to teach her godchildren how to bike.
