Episode Synopsis "Episode 7: Sunrise Amherst (Meenakshi Jani '23 and Claire Taylor '23)"

In this edition of Tusk Talks, we sit down with Claire Taylor ‘23 and Meenakshi Jani ‘23, two leaders of Sunrise Amherst — an offshoot of the broader Sunrise climate action movement. Sunrise Amherst has been integral in campaigning for the college to divest from fossil fuels and the prison-industrial complex. Taylor and Jani dive into the timeline of their campaign, the group’s founding principles and a reflection on the actions that the college has taken so far. Musical credit goes to Guillermo Rodriguez ’22 and Quentin Jeyaretnam ’23. Audio editors: Ashley Chang ’23, Sam Spratford ’24 and Rebecca Picciotto ’22.
