Meet Our Summer Interns

Welcome our Summer intern Claire!

Claire Grunberg (she/her/hers) is a recent high school graduate living in Western Massachusetts and taking a gap year before attending Smith College. She organizes with the Sunrise Movement both locally and nationally, and is passionate about approaching the climate crisis from an intersectional and justice-oriented angle. Within Sunrise she has recently done electoral work, but as she interns with JwJ she's excited to do more organizing within communities and outside of electoral politics.

Welcome another one of our Summer Interns Caroline!

My name is Caroline Ognibene (she/her), and I’ve recently moved back to Massachusetts after finishing my MA in Legal and Political Theory in London. I'm currently a Research Fellow for the Africa Center for Strategic Progress, and I volunteer as a Staff Writer/Researcher for a sustainable agriculture advocacy group. I'm also taking a specialization course in Climate Change and Health to improve my understanding of environmental justice. I hope to help implement bold, progressive change for my home state at this critical junction in American politics!

Meet our returning JWJ Summer intern, Leah!

Leah Kanzer (she/her) is a recent graduate from Georgetown University where she organized with the Immigration and Labor Project at the Kalmanovitz Initiative. Leah is passionate about transformative justice, pleasure activism and finding new recipes to cook! She is currently involved with the Lincoln Sudbury mutual aid network, Mass Undocufund and Jewish Voice for Peace. Leah has learned so much about labor rights from Mass JWJ and is excited to return for her second summer.
