What issues do you care about?
This semester, we are running campaigns on a lot of big issues. To
solve these problems we’ll be working with students to organize panel
discussions, collect petition signatures, generate calls to
congressmen, and get media coverage.
As classes start we will be
launching our fall campaigns. We need to hear from you to know which
issues we should tackle first.
Please take a moment to fill out the form below to let us know which issues you care about most. Make sure to let us know if you are interested in an internship!
