CALPIRG is a student-directed and student-funded nonprofit . We work to defend the environment, protect public health, and and promote civic engagement. We have been active for 50 years and have accomplished a lot, including working to increase federal financial aid by $36 billion, getting the UC’s to commit to phase out single-use plastics to protect the oceans, and helping 80,000 students vote in the last election. We also got the University of California campuses to switch to 100% clean electricity.
The best way you can support our work is by becoming a member of CALPIRG by joining our monthly giving program.
The reason we’re so effective is because thousands of students and faculty at colleges across the state decide to join our statewide organization by giving small ongoing gifts. This gives us the political power, staff training, and resources to win big campaigns.
