Robbin Warner is the cofounder of Postcards4VA. Since it started in 2017, Postcards4VA has helped volunteers write almost 1.5 million postcards for Democratic candidates in Virginia. Robbin is a producer of the weekly Zoom show, Friday Power Lunch, which amplifies the voices of the Virginia grassroots. She is also a founding organizer of Network NOVA’s annual Women’s Summit.
Before turning her attention to activism full time, Robbin taught writing at the university level for 25 years. She holds a Ph.D. in Folklore and American studies and wrote her dissertation on the rise of the environmental justice movement in the 1980s.
From 2009-2012 Robbin was part of the executive board of the NATO Charity Bazaar Foundation in Brussels, Belgium that raises millions of Euros for small charities tied to NATO countries.
Robbin lives in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria with her husband Gene and four white cats, who love making unannounced guest appearances whenever Robbin is on Zoom.
