Campus Organizer: Morgan Culbertson

We are a hardworking and dedicated group of student activists here at UC Riverside. As students, we care about the future of our society and the future of our planet. We run campaigns to protect the environment, strengthen democracy, and help feed the hungry and homeless in our community.

Join our chapter and you will gain skills and experience necessary to make a difference in the world, as well as meet an amazing group of intelligent, positive, and hardworking people. (We also have a LOT of fun doing it!!)
