Hello! And Welcome to the DuckPIRG page!
We are so proud to be ducks. We are so so excited that so many students voted and that so many students agree that together, we can stop global warming, make healthcare more affordable, make textbooks cheaper, and end consumer rip-offs. Thank you to all UofO students for voting this week and making your voice heard in this election!

Campaigns we're working on this term:
New Voter's Project - make sure politicians pay attention to us by participating in the Oregon Governor Primary Elections (Republican and Democrat) on May 18th. We're working with the Student Vote Coalition to make sure student voices are heard.
Global Warming Solutions - elected officials need to do more to address the growing climate crisis by implementing renewable energy solutions like wind and solar. Join us during Earth Week when we will be working with the Student Sustainability Coalition to educate campus about what we can do RIGHT NOW! April 19th - 23rd
Hunger and Homelessness - the economic downturn has left countless of Americans homeless and without a way to provide for their family. Join us for the 25th annual, national Hunger Clean Up to provide for those in need in the Eugene community. May 8th.
THANKS FOR WANTING TO GET INVOLVED! If any of these projects sound interesting to you, have a problem in the world you'd like to address, or just believe in student power, fill out the interest form.
Winter Term Campaigns:
Corporations Are People Too!
As frustrated as we are with the Supreme Court's Decision to classify corporations as people to allow them to spend limitless amounts of money on political campaigns? (Citizen's United v. Federal Election Commission) You've come to the right place.
With the 2010 elections coming right up, we are showing how ridiculous we think this decision is and asking our elected officials to do something before the floodgates of corporate money alter the political landscape forever! This term we held Mock Weddings, between people and their favorite corporations to show our elected officials how ridiculous it is that corporations be considered people.
