Ashanti McClain - On the impact of RENA volunteers picking up trash (clip)

Interviewed on August 3, 2023

Ashanti McClain: The RENA Center had this big march, well it wasn’t really like a march, but we picked up trash alongside the roads. I didn’t help out with that because I was in second grade, so I didn’t really help out, but I feel like it was very significant.
