Gwen Tucker is a current junior at Scripps College majoring in Politics and Sociology. Originally from Evanston, Illinois, she spent her high school years organizing with Chicago’s diverse Jewish community around issues of community safety, immigration justice, and economic justice. Since starting college in Claremont, Gwen has become passionate about meaningfully engaging college students in local issues. As the lead organizer for Inclusive Claremont, the city’s pro-housing coalition, she has worked with students and community members alike to advocate for affordable housing and tenant protections in Claremont. She is proud to have been a part of powerful efforts to amplify community support for the Larkin Place development, and to pass an ordinance restricting unjust renovation evictions at City Council. Gwen believes strongly in the power of building political coalitions, making an impact at the local level, and pursuing justice in all facets of life.
