Leah Stephens Clark joins the Snake River Alliance with a deep love for Idaho, and a background in education, the arts, and nonprofits. Leah is a change-maker, a community-builder, and an ally for marginalized people. A native of Boise, Leah loves to spend time with her children (Rafferty and Matilde), her pets (Benjamin, Mae Mobley, and Julian), teaching dance, and planting in her garden.
Leigh is a 4th generation Idahoan and loves to travel, but like a salmon, Idaho always draws her back. Both her grandfathers worked at the Idaho National Laboratory so she has deep emotional ties to the surrounding area and the water beneath it. Leigh feels strongly that she needs to do her part to help support the clean up of nuclear waste and protect it for future generations. "Water is more precious than any resource I can imagine and I intend on defending and protecting it in any way I can. I want my children to experience the beauty of our state and to always want to come home to the clean water and fresh air Idaho offers."
