*What role do working groups play at OPIRG?*

Working groups are central to the functioning of OPIRG.  They consist of a
group of volunteers who work on a specific issue pertaining to
anti-oppressive, anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, social justice and
environmental issues. The working groups are dedicated to enacting change
on campus and/or in the broader community, and function autonomously.
 Working groups receive funding from OPIRG and access to the OPIRG office.
OPIRG York is committed to change at York University but we ALSO envision
larger community interaction. We want to blend student organizing with
grassroots activism to ensure broad social and environmental change. Thus,
we are encouraging applications for working groups with a broad vision,
especially those who come from traditionally marginalized communities.

*The 2013-2014 OPIRG York working groups are:*

- YU Free Press
- Environmental Justice
- Students Against Israeli Apartheid
- Filipino Canadian Youth Alliance – Ontario (UKPC/FCYA-ON)
- Students for a Free Tibet
- Incendies
- Revolutionary Student Movement
- Revolutionary Literature and Art
- Arts for Change
- Queer and Trans Womyn Without Borders


The OPIRG York board will approve new working group applications soon after
the deadline and members will be notified for a mandatory first meeting and
trainings - so please send in your applications of interest as soon as
possible- DEADLINE IS JULY 25th, 2014.(http://opirgyork.ca/working-groups)

Interested in joining one of our existing or past working groups, we can
put you in touch! Our working groups are always looking for new members,
volunteers and people who are passionate about the many issues that they
cover!

*If there is a social justice/political issue that you would like to work
on that isn’t represented start your own! We provide lots of support,
funding and outreach help to get your issue out there to the York
community.*

For more information on how to get involved with one of our working groups,
