Susannah Blinkoff

Earlier this month, Susannah joined forces with the Los Angeles branch of the wonderful non-profit LIFT at their "Picnic With a Purpose" event in honor of Black History Month. LIFT works to invest hope, money, and love in parents with young children to break intergenerational cycles of poverty and build economic mobility. It was such an inspiring event - full of activities and conversations that tackled difficult subjects like wealth and financial inequality and sparked empathy and understanding. Susannah’s role was to provide musical entertainment and lead the group of kids and parents in song.

Recently, Susannah and her husband Jordan, attended the annual Masters of Taste Event at the Rose Bowl, a premier food & beverage festival where 100% of the proceeds benefited Union Station Homeless Services.

Susannah was so honored to host an event at her Barbara Bestor-designed home for the Lorraine Hansberry Initiative — featuring special guests Alison Saar and the brilliant, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and my beloved friend-from-college Lynn Nottage — to benefit a scholarship fund for female and non-binary playwrights of color. Learn more about this initiative here.

Susannah and her husband, Jordan, have been supporters of Union Station Homeless Services for almost 15 years - a non-profit organization committed to helping homeless individuals and families rebuild their lives. Jordan has been a dedicated board member for this remarkable organization for several years now. The couple volunteered at the Thanksgiving in the Park event as well as donated and served food for the homeless. This past April, Susannah and Jordan attended the Masters of Taste Event at the Rose Bowl, a premier food & beverage festival, where 100% of the proceeds benefited the Union Station Homeless Services. The organization is known for having developed a model for addressing homelessness in Pasadena that was so successful it has been adopted by the city of Los Angeles on a larger scale.

In March, Susannah attended and co-hosted the ERA Coalition and Fund For Women's Equality event to get the equal rights amendment added to the U.S. Constitution. The event included Pat Spearman, Nevada’s State Senator. 50 years ago, the U.S. Senate passed the Equal Rights Amendment, yet the ERA was never added to the Constitution. As a result, millions of American women still face inequality under the law and injustice in their careers and lives. Now more than ever, when women’s rights are being threatened and Roe v. Wade is in grave peril, it’s time to finally pass the Equal Rights Amendment. Join Susannah in this fight to be on the right side of history!

Susannah attended a moving event at the Liberty Hill Foundation’s Upton Sinclair Awards, recognizing outstanding leadership in L.A.’s fight for social & economic justice for BIPOC. She is proud to have supported honoree Assemblyman Isaac Bryan back when he led the fight to pass Measure J and won! His vision & commitment gives hope for the future, as does the widespread good Liberty Hill does & has done for years.

Susannah is an advocate for Democratic candidates such as L.A. Congressman Adam Schiff. She and her husband, Jordan Corngold were recently able to host their first event at their new Barbara Bestor home, which was designed specifically for charity and political fundraisers. The successful evening was in support of Congressman Adam Schiff and his Schiff Leads PAC, which helps Democrats in tight Congressional races. The event committee included Ron Baldwin, Martha Hackett, Amanda Landecker and Bradley Whitford, with Patricia Arquette as a special guest.
