Dear Professor,

I wanted to reach out to tell you about the national civic engagement award that PIRG Campus Action recently won!

The student PIRGs, a project of PIRG Campus, Action, was nominated for a national “Civvy” award for our work supporting voter registration and creating space for dialogue between student swith diverse perspectives.

The Civvys (The American Civic Collaboration Awards) are the first national awards program designed to highlight organizations and individuals hat leverage collaboration as a key strength in building initiatives that improve communities. You can learn more about this on their website.

PIRG Campus Action is hiring campus organizers to empower student leaders and win concrete results on public interest campaigns ranging from getting our campuses to 100% renewable energy, to saving students money on textbooks by promoting open educational resources.

If you have anyone in your department who you think would be a good fit for our positions , please let me know!

Online political platform launches in Tacoma and Greater Pierce County

It can be a challenge both locally and nationwide for interested political candidates to find open positions, deadlines, and learn the requirements for elections.
