hi! my name is anika pillai, and i am currently a student at george washington university studying political science as a freshman. as a political science major, i want to harness the power in politics and use the system to create an environmentally and socially just future. i worked in state-level politics throughout high school, gaining support for environmental protection legislation working with environmental lobby firms and local environmental justice programs that center indigenous communities. i wrote my first article in my hometown newspaper, the portland tribune, on the devastating effects of climate change on portland, oregon. i moved to dc to continue this work on a federal level and join new programs such as planet forward at gw. i first gained interest in planet forward after taking the \"world on a plate\" course with professor scully last semester and continued pursuing my interest in sustainability in the \"intro to sustainability\" class this semester. i hope to learn and listen to new perceptive and stories surrounding climate change through this organization and maybe share a couple of my own. <\/p>\r\n","link":"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/author\/anika-pillai-0\/","slug":"anika-pillai-0","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d06b1cf1901efeb2176223f1bd53225f?s=24&d=https%3a%2f%2fplanetforward.org%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2023%2f02%2funtitled-design-1-150x150.png&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d06b1cf1901efeb2176223f1bd53225f?s=48&d=https%3a%2f%2fplanetforward.org%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2023%2f02%2funtitled-design-1-150x150.png&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d06b1cf1901efeb2176223f1bd53225f?s=96&d=https%3a%2f%2fplanetforward.org%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2023%2f02%2funtitled-design-1-150x150.png&r=g"},"meta":[],"acf":[],"simple_local_avatar":null,"yoast_head":"\n
