Campus Progress

Campus Progress is working to see that the next generation of progressive leaders is better trained, better informed, more diverse, and more united than any generation before. We’re helping to create a powerful progressive movement by connecting young people across the divides of region, background, and issue interests, and working to keep them connected over time.

While some portray U.S. campuses as bastions of liberalism, 30 years of heavily-funded conservative organizing has made its mark, and the future is up for grabs. Campus Progress is helping young progressives come together, win the battle of ideas, and turn their ideas into action. Campus Progress primarily organizes at colleges and universities—where many young people are concentrated and easier to reach—but we intend our work to be accessible and useful to everyone.

Watch these videos of academy-award nominated actor Ryan Gosling and Enough Project Co-chair John Prendergast in an energetic presentation on Darfur to student activists after the Campus Progress event in Washington D.C. on July 8. The panel was formed to discuss the crises in Uganda and Darfur, situations in the field in these conflict ridden areas of Africa, and what activists, specifically college students, can do to bring about change. Ryan Gosling visited Northern Uganda, and relays his experiences on the ground and within the activist movement.
