Campus Compact
Campus Compact is a campaign being run by SLAP chapters around the country. The Compact was built through the success of student organizing over the past decade – from living wages, to students controlling committees that decide business partners, the right to unionize and acknowledging the power our campuses have as the labor standard setters.

It’s time to fight back!
