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 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
considered to be one of the two most popular political groups on
campus, alongside Student Action.
