Leena mathew (she/her)

Director of Policy & Campaigns: Designing the strategy and implementation of campaigns and coalition work to amplify the political impact of Matahari's immigrant & women worker membership.

My favorite workplace memory is: winning a YES vote from the Committee on Labor & Workforce development for the One Fair Wage bill. Matahari was able to push through a relatively unpopular effort with really amazing testimonies from restaurant worker leaders and many hours of meeting with legislators. We celebrated by having a “Server for an Hour” event where legislators served brunch to our restaurant workers at a local High Road restaurant called Vincents. It was an amazing few weeks that really demonstrated the power of organized & vocal workers and their many allies. 

My zodiac signs are: Aries sun, Taurus rising, Cancer moon

When I’m not at work you can find me: practicing taekwondo, biking to Tufts Park to read in the sun
