Campus Progress, part of the Center for American Progress, works to help young people -- advocates, activists, journalists, artists -- make their voices heard on issues that matter. Through an online magazine and student publications, public events, multimedia projects, and grassroots issue campaigns, Campus Progress acts to empower new progressive leaders nationwide as they develop fresh ideas, communicate in new ways, push policy outcomes in a progressive direction, and build a strong progressive movement.

Training Mission:
Campus Progress is sponsoring a free conference for young journalists and activists that will be held at Morehouse College in Atlanta from February 6-8. The event will feature prominent speakers like Amy Goodman of “Democracy Now!”, Ta-Nehisi Coates of The Atlantic and frequent MSNBC guest Chris Hayes of The Nation. The conference is open to the public with prior registration. To register and for more information, visit our web site at www.campusprogress.org/atlanta2009.
