Public interest advocacy
"We cannot safely leave politics to politicians, or political economy to college professors. The people themselves must think because the people alone can act." - Henry George
Public Interest Advocacy is a student directed project in the Bennion Center that was set up to work with political systems to bring about positive social change. It's a very flexible time commitment and we welcome any time volunteers are willing to give.
Some things we are going to work on the 2007-2008 academic year include:

1. Increase student attendance and lobbying efforts at the Legislative Session
2. Partner with Utah Progressive Network (UPNET) to work on issues like immigration, comprehensive sex-ed for public schools, and LBGT issues
3. Help students understand the root causes of the problems in society
4. Deal with issues on the campus, city, county, state, and national level

MEETINGS
For the convenience of our volunteers we give the option of attending one the the following meetings:
Tuesday 6:30 pm in the Bennion Center Union 101 Friday 2:30 pm in the Bennion Center Union 101
