Barbara Blaine

Barbara Blaine, is the founder and President of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), a national advocacy group for survivors of clerical sexual abuse.

Blaine was born in Toledo, Ohio, and currently resides in Chicago. She has a bachelor's degree from St. Louis University, a master's degree in social work from Washington University in St. Louis and a law degree from DePaul University School of Law.

Blaine worked as a lay missionary in Jamaica before moving to Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood in 1983 to take a job with Pax Christi, an international Catholic peace movement. She then held a decade-long position with the Catholic Worker, a social service agency. Blaine also opened a homeless facility in a convent at the now-shuttered Little Flower Catholic Church on the South Side. In 2002 she also worked as an assistant Cook County public guardian in Patrick Murphy's office.
