Aru Shiney-Ajay, Executive Director of the Sunrise Movement, discusses her journey with the organization, joining in 2017 to elevate the urgency of climate issues in politics. Sunrise's focus has been on holding the federal government accountable while supporting local actions, changing the narrative that pits jobs against climate to one that promotes clean energy as economically beneficial. 



As the 2024 elections approach, she highlights the need for climate to be a central issue and invites listeners to get involved with the Sunrise Movement to drive political change.
