Advocacy
The EGD Collective is a force of change throughout the games industry and our world. We support student advocacy efforts and better working conditions for our industry.
Whether we're fighting for free college for all, advocating for safer communities, or pushing for the elimination of crunch, EGD as an organization and its individual members are all responsible for the future of games. We encourage our students to advocate for what they care about, become agents of change, and volunteer their time within their communities.
Advocating publicly on issues that concern members and creating opportunities to empower our members are core elements of the EGD Collective.
