Sara Blazervic

"Sara Blazevic has been organizing since she was 15, where she was first introduced to environmental justice work in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. Sara was part of one of the country’s first fossil fuel divestment campaigns at Swarthmore College, and led that campaign through a 32-day sit-in that gained international recognition. She worked at the Divestment Student Network, where she trained dozens of divestment campaigns across the US and globally. In 2016, inspired by the growth of Momentum-based movements Cosecha and IfNotNow, she decided to co-found Sunrise. Sara serves as the Managing Director of Sunrise. [1]
