A native of Southwest Baltimore and the wrong side of the tracks, now successfully transplanted to Portland, Oregon, Lisa is a writer, an acupuncturist, and an organizer. She is a co-founder of Working Class Acupuncture, a founder of the Community Acupuncture Network, the People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture, and POCA Tech. Apparently she can’t stop founding things. Lisa is POCA Tech’s Executive Director.
