“The bottom line is that this is important to future graduates and their families, it is a top concern among students, and has support from across the political spectrum."
Vote Yes for MASSPIRG
MASSPIRG is a student funded, student directed, non-profit advocacy organization that wins real results in the public interest. Students at BCC have voted to fund MASSPIRG with a $9 per student per semester waiveable fee since 1983. We pool those resources with other campuses across the state, and use it to hire a professional staff of organizers and advocates to work with us and on our behalf to win victories that improve people’s lives.
Every two years here at BCC, students have the opportunity to re-affirm their support for MASSPIRG. Make sure you Vote Yes from April 23rd-27th by dropping by the SGA Voting Tables in the Susan B. Anthony Student Center Lounge Monday and Wednesday-Friday or the Field Administration Building Lobby on Pre-Registration Tuesday.
Yesterday we released a new report, Transportation and the New Generation: Why Young People are Driving Less and What it Means for Transportation Policy, that shows that young people in particular are decreasing the amount they drive and increasing their use of transportation alternatives.
