Our most recent election has energized students on campuses across the country. Now it’s time to carry that momentum into real action. PIRG campus organizers recruit college students, faculty and community members to investigate problems and build support for solutions. PIRG organizers, and the volunteers they recruit and train, research issues, build coalitions, work with the media, educate the public, and generate citizen support on issues ranging from poverty to environmental protection.
