I'm Voting For Campaign
You Have the Power to Change the Debate
Have you experienced life without health care? Are you struggling with the cost of college? Do you have a loved one fighting in Iraq? We want to hear how your personal story affects your vote.

Pushback.org

Pushback is a blog written and edited by a diverse group of progressive young people from across the country. Pushback’s goal is simple: Let young people speak for themselves, not just on stereotypically “youth-oriented” topics like music and celebrities, but on everything from healthcare to congressional races to American foreign policy.

I'm Voting For

“I’m Voting For,” an online video testimonial campaign, gives young people a platform to talk about how their personal experiences and passion for the issues driving them to the polls. While everyone is focusing on “who are you voting for?” Campus Progress Action is interested in focusing the debate on what matters most – the issues.

Free Exchange on Campus

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.
