Idealism in Action: In today's world, big changes are happening every day, with big decisions being made that will shape OUR future. We believe it's our right to have our say in these decisions and our responsibility to do all we can to make a difference. That’s why we run campaigns to make a difference – on issues like environmental protection, college affordability, and consumer protection. And we know that college students are critical in these efforts. Students have been at the forefront of positive social change throughout history, from civil rights, to voting rights to protecting the environment. That’s because we know the world can be better and have the drive and vision to push for a greener, healthier, and more meaningful future. And here at CALPIRG Students, we’re effective in pushing for the future we want because we combine the enthusiasm and vision of students with the expertise of professional staff, that train and work alongside students to educate the public, build grassroots support, and lobby decision makers to act. We teach students skills like how to recruit and train volunteers, outreach to the media, and organize big events, all while making a difference right away. We can hire these professional staff and run effective campaigns thanks to the support of thousands of students who pledge to add the CALPIRG fee to their tuition each term.
