Students at the University of Southern California did an LA Monument Tour last week. CALPIRG intern Emilio Borghesan and six volunteers went to 8 different famous places in LA--from the Staples Center, to Union Station, from Universal Studios to LACMA on public transit, and then raised a seventeen-foot windmill in front of each monument and took a picture. (Everyone was wearing Campus Climate Challenge t-shirts). The students are making an photo "petition" album to give to Representatives Watson and Becerra.
At UC Santa Barbara, students collected over 200
valentines in 2 days, thanking Rep. Capps for voting to include clean energy
options and public transit funding in the economic recovery package. Madeline Wikander and Lauren Hillman led
the effort by getting over 20 Valentines signed each in just an hour!
