Make Your Voice Heard
Campus Progress Action, part of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, works to help young people -- advocates, activists, journalists, artists, and others -- to make their voices heard on issues that matter.
Check out these public education campaigns from our partner organization, Campus Progress.
Campus Progress is a proud member of Free Exchange on Campus, a coalition of student, faculty, and civil liberties organizations working to protect free speech at colleges and universities and to stop measures, like the so-called Academic Bill of Rights, that would impose government censorship on what teachers can teach and students can learn. Members of the coalition are committed to advocating for the rights of students and faculty to hear and express a full range of ideas unencumbered by political or ideological interference.
Debt Hits Hard is Campus Progress's national campaign to promote access to college and reduce student debt through strong and fair financial aid policies. Working with our partners in the Campaign for College Affordability, Campus Progress advocates for: raising federal Pell Grants; cutting student loan interest rates; and ending wasteful subsidies to lenders. See Campus Progress's guide to investigating campus financial aid practices - Honest Lending, Fair Lending.
The Campus Progress Iraq Campaign works to halt the escalation, bring a prompt resolution to the conflict, reduce violence and suffering in Iraq, bring our troops home, and build greater peace and security for the United States and the world. Through local and national organizing, advocacy, activism, and training, plus our Iraq Film project and other events, the Iraq Campaign aims for a change of course on the war now.
Campus Progress is an active member of the Campus Climate Challenge, a coalition of 37 national organizations and over 500 local groups. The Challenge leverages the power of young people to organize on college campuses across the U.S. to win 100% Clean Energy policies at their schools. The Challenge is growing a generation-wide movement to stop global warming, by reducing the pollution from our schools down to zero, and leading our society to a clean energy future.
