Drop Sodexo! An interview with student activists

KSPC 88.7FM

Can students really do anything about prison abolition? How do we organize for real change on campuses, and create lasting effects, despite everyone asking us to keep our heads in our studies? Did you know that the companies that provide the very food some university students eat (such as the French company Sodexo) are large contributors to the Prison-Industrial complex? Listen to “Drop Sodexo! An Interview” to hear Shanawar Zahoor Butt (Pitzer ‘21) in conversation with Sophie Peters (Scripps ‘20), Alex Hammond (Pomona ‘20), and Griffin Cloud Levine (Pomona ‘19), three members in the movement to drop the company Sodexo at the Claremont Colleges. Hear about the struggles and triumphs that came with the movement to drop the company, how to keep a movement going when students graduate, and about what students and activists face in our rapidly changing world.
