CalSERVE (Cal Students for Equal Rights and a Valid Education) is an organization and political party within the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC) at the University of California, Berkeley. The mission of CalSERVE is to fight for racial justice and social change on both small and large scales through the resources available in the ASUC. CalSERVE was founded in 1984 with the goal of university divestment of funds to the nation of South Africa, which at the time was under the system of apartheid. CalSERVE has continued its tradition of promoting progressive social action over the years and has long been a well-represented and high-standing party within the ASUC, and is generally one of the top two vote-getters in the ASUC, alongside Student Action.
Currently, CalSERVE controls most of the executive branch of the student government, but is down 6-10 in the Senate, with 4 seats held by independents.
This year CalSERVE has been attacked for using the ASUC to facilitate their political agenda. However, CalSERVE offers a list of many goals they have successfully accomplished on their website.
