Defend Opirg Toronto! Sign Our Petition.

The Graduate Students’ Union at U of T is trying to tamper with our student-approved funding stream and seriously undermine students’ access to our many vital services.  Since its founding by student referendum in 1982, OPIRG-Toronto has campaigned for smaller class sizes, better compensation for graduate student workers, women’s rights, environmental sustainability, accessible post-secondary education, a campus free of racism, homophobia, and all forms of discrimination, and much more.
