THE TRAILBLAZER 4
ANNA LEFER KUHN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ARCA FOUNDATION
During Anna’s tenure at the Arca Foundation (which works to advance social justice and human rights in the U.S. and abroad) she turned its attention to the economic crisis, promoting the engagement of citizens in Wall Street accountability as a means to advance a more equitable economy and just democracy. This Wesleyan grad is on the steering committee of the Funders Committee for Civic Participation, and chairwoman of the advisory board of the Youth Engagement Fund, a project she launched with the Democracy Alliance in 2008. Born and raised in New York, she now lives in Washington with her architecthusband and pre-school-aged twins. NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION Don’t sweat the small things. FAVORITE APP PRX: Public Radio Exchange. I’m a throwback, public radio groupie. FUN FACT Before we turned our Petworth backyard into a playground for our kids, my husband and I had a very successful run as urban farmers growing everything from tomatoes and jalapenos to peanuts (unsuccessfully) and hops, that my husband used in his home brew IPA. MOST UNDER-RATED WASHINGTON SPOT A Literri, an old-school Italian wholesale market in the warehouse district of northeast Washington,D.C. Outstanding Italian sandwiches, olives and wine.
