CAMPAIGNS:

This fall we are working on six campaigns for social change..

• The Campus Climate Challenge is working to make a local impact on the problem of global warming, and lobby statewide and nationally for legislation that addresses it.
• Our New Voters Project is part of a coalition on campus that has a goal of registering 6,000 students to vote on campus!
• The High Speed Rail campaign is working to pass Proposition 1a, which will bring a bullet train from Northern to Southern California.
• The Oceans campaign is working to green the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz and educate the campus on the problems facing ocean protection.
• The Textbooks campaign is working to bring FREE textbooks to higher education through Open Education Resources.
• The Hunger and Homelessness campaign is planning a Hunger Awareness week to not only raise money and resources for those in need, but also to educate the campus about this urgent problem.
