OPIRG York was established in the spring of 1992 by a campus-wide referendum, joining a provincial network of OPIRG chapters at eleven Ontario university campuses. We are a student-funded, student-directed organization mandated to do popular education and advocacy around social justice and environmentalism. We are committed to making links between issues including anti-racism, economic justice, the environment, Native rights, sexuality and women. Our primary mode of action is through our Working Groups. Working Groups are collectives of people who come together to mobilize around specific issues. OPIRG is here for all students. We provide skills, training and resources for research projects, organizing, public education and activism.
