 About SFPIRG The SFPIRG Public Interest Research Group, aka SFPIRG, is a
student-funded and student-directed resource centre dedicated to
environmental and social justice. PIRG's were established across North
American campuses in the 1970's and 80's as a way for students to advocate
for change.

SFPIRG was set-up by students on SFU's Burnaby campus in 1981 - we're
currently celebrating our 30th birthday!

Our mission is to work towards a just and sustainable world. Areas of work
include education, action, research and community.

Come find us in *TC326 in the Rotunda* or drop us a line to get involved!

 Territory Acknowledgment SFPIRG acknowledges that we are located on
unceded Indigenous territory belonging to the Coast Salish peoples. Based
on our current knowledge, this includes lands belonging to the
Musqueam<http://sfpirg.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=06455f18e6886efe48a03ced1&id=d44dfbfad9&e=2a97dd9a80>,

Today, most of BC remains unceded sovereign Native lands, over which
neither the Canadian or BC governments have the legal or moral authority to
govern.

Here at SFPIRG, we are working towards better understanding how we can
support Indigenous sovereignty as most of us are settlers on this land.
