Akhila Bandlora
Art Director
​
Hi! My name's Akhila Bandlora, and I'm a rising junior at BASIS Phoenix! I'm super passionate about Freakonomics, art advocacy, environmental justice, and Sam Smith (not necessarily in that order, though). I joined Zero Hour because I believe it's our duty to protect the environment from the pressures of big business, and to do my bit in helping stop the climate crisis.

Hello! I'm Claire Bates and I'm the Communications Director of Zero Hour Phoenix. I've been vegan for 5 years, largely for environmental reasons, and have always believed it is important to take care of our planet. I strongly believe that everyone deserves a clean Earth.
