On Monday April 20th 2009, CALPIRG students from across the state descended upon the Capitol in Sacramento for their spring Lobby Day. Students met with legislators to discuss a wide range of issues, including: bills designed to expand health care coverage for young people and lower costs; a bill to require 33% of California's energy to come from renewable sources by 2020; and CALPIRG's efforts to help community college students stay in school and graduate. The students met with staffers from 45 offices, as well as nine state legislators, including Assembly Speaker Karen Bass.
