THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATION!

As the Student Organizer, Emma works to recruit and manage student volunteers and interns, and also build community among our student members. She started with For the Many as a fundraiser her freshman year in college, and continued to become more and more involved each semester as she quickly realized the importance and urgency of grassroots organizing work. She’s incredibly excited for this full-circle moment to work with students and help facilitate their personal growth and political consciousness, just as she experienced when first introduced to our work. 

In her free time, Emma loves to hike, explore the beautiful Hudson Valley, cook meals for her loved ones, and teach and practice yoga!

Sarandon organizes students, develops them as leaders, and mobilizes them to knock hundreds of doors and make thousands of calls to build our movement.

Sarandon was born and raised in Richmond, where she saw how austerity measures, neoliberalism, and white supremacy created crises within the public schools she attended and her community in general. Sarandon started her interest in youth and campus organizing after she transferred from a community college to the University of Virginia. At UVa, Sarandon fought against the university’s weak response to COVID safety and policing on campus through the YDSA chapter on campus.

Jenna is the Tenant Organizer at For the Many. In her role she helps tenants organize together for better conditions, lower rents, and increased protections. Her interest in progressive social action was nurtured at Bard College, where she founded a coalition of students who lived off-campus to advocate for their rights as renters. She spends her free time cooking with friends, making pottery, and reading with her two cats. She believes that housing is a basic human right and that the power belongs to the people.
