Campus Climate Challenge

Global warming is the crisis of our generation and we are the one who are going to have to deal with it in the long term, so we're taking the lead in fighting global warming.  We're working to get our Congressman to pass strong national legislatiion to fight global warming.  We're also working with Rutgers to figure out ways to reduce the University's global warming pollution.  Join the online petition to get Rutgers to reduce its global warming pollution here.       

Hunger and Homelessness Campaign

This semester our main project is our annual Hunger Cleanup which works to fundraise and turn out volunteers to help fight homelessness.  This events works to meet people's imediate needs through a day of service while also fundraising to provide longterm funding for agencies addressing poverty issues. We'll also be running clothing and necessities drives and volunteering at local agencies throughout the sememester, and working to pass the National Affordable Housing Fund as part of the longterm solution to ending homelessness in America.
   

New Voters Project

We're continuing the national and local momentum of young people voting so that we can make politicians pay more attention to us and the issues we care about. We're building a University-wide coalition to run a massive voter registration drive next fall, holding educational events about the election and voting on campus, and working to make sure the media and politicians are paying attention to young voters and their issues.
