About

Kathleen Borschow (she/her) is a late blooming queer, proud daughter/great-granddaughter of Jewish refugees, public interest lawyer, voting rights activist, and organizer turned producer. After graduating from Yale, Kathleen taught English in Madrid, Spain as a Fulbright Scholar. She then earned a JD from Harvard Law School. Kathleen began her legal career in the Honors Attorney Program at the U.S. Department of Labor, and then moved to the U.S. Senate as an Oversight and Special Counsel for Senator Patty Murray on the HELP Committee. In 2020, Kathleen dropped everything to join the Biden-Harris campaign in North Carolina, where she created and ran the largest, most impactful voter protection voter contact programs in history deploying thousands of volunteers to help thousands of voters cast their ballots. Kathleen was subsequently recruited to the Georgia Senate Runoffs to quickly scale up the voter protection programs that helped bring Senators Ossoff and Warnock to victory. She then joined Stacey Abrams-founded Fair Fight Action for two years, where as Deputy Director of Voter Protection she led national advocacy efforts outside of Georgia. After meeting love of her life and brilliant filmmaker Azza Cohen, Kathleen found her calling: make impactful art that reflects our deepest selves and changes the world with the best person in the world.
