Activism

The Churchill Against Animal Testing Club is in collaboration with the Beagle Freedom nonprofit organization that focuses on spreading awareness around animal testing. Our mission is to continue spreading this information, and to raise money so that more animals will be able to be rescued from testing laboratories. During our club meetings we will be brainstorming different ways to bring in more donations, create informative posters and dog toys, and learn more about animal testing and what goes on behind closed doors.

Eco MoCo Churchill is a chapter of the national student-led organization, Eco MoCo, that focuses on advocating for the environment in local communities while fostering a platform for leadership. Eco MoCo was co-founded by a Churchill student! In the past, the organization, Eco MoCo, has hosted recycled art events, a postcard campaign that helped unanimously pass an electrification bill, trash pickups, workshops, and more. Eco MoCo Churchill will host trash pickups, give environmental presentations at Elementary Schools, and create Eco Kits for the community: free sustainability kits developed by Eco MoCo that include a LED light bulb, reusable bag, recycled pencils, and other items. Through Eco MoCo Churchill, students will not only make a positive change in the Churchill community, but also develop leadership skills such as public speaking, event planning, organization, and more while advocating for a greener planet. In addition, students will gain access to a national network of environmental student leaders and numerous opportunities through Eco MoCo.

No Place for Hate is an organization that encourages respect for each other throughout our community. No Place for Hate was made by the Anti-Defamation League to spread awareness and educate students in schools about the daily events that are happening in our world today. Our goal is to end racial, sexual, religious, and more types of discrimination at Churchill. We will educate students at monthly meetings on a different topic or issue that is impacting the society we live in. We are also planning to hold fundraisers in order to raise money for the organization during the year.
