MaryPIRG Students is a student organization here at UMD that works to protect the public’s health, save the environment, end hunger, and promote civic engagement.
To say this year has been challenging is an understatement. From the global health pandemic to the collapsing economy to the civil unrest in our country, there’s a lot of uncertainty right now. We know how much of an impact young people can make on so many fronts, so we invite you to join us in taking action for our future. This semester we will be running four campaigns: the New Voters Project, MaryPIRG Student Climate Action Coalition (MSCAC), Zero Hunger, and Public Health.
- The New Voters Project will continue to register students as we head into the November election and educate them in many ways including how to safely vote amidst the pandemic.
- MSCAC, formerly known as Fossil Free, will be working alongside students across the state to continue fighting for 100% renewable energy by 2030 at all USM schools.
- Zero Hunger will be focusing on food insecurity on campus and dealing with the stigma surrounding it.
- The Public Health campaign will be focusing on making sure students, faculty and employees' health concerns during the pandemic are addressed by the administration this semester.
