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.
We engage in advocacy, coalition, and media work on key policy issues of importance to young people; advance grassroots issue campaigns on campuses and in communities; and train young people in media, policy, writing, grassroots organizing, and other critical skills.

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.
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.
Campus Progress is a leading member of the Energy Action Coalition (EAC) , which joins 40 organizations and over 500 local groups in the fight for a clean and just energy economy. The EAC leverages the power of young people to organize on college campuses and in communities across the U.S. to win 100% Clean Energy policies at their schools, engage communities in the creation of green jobs, and put pressure on the federal government to pass comprehensive climate legislation. The Energy Action Coalition is growing a nation-wide movement to stop global warming and leading our society to a clean energy future.
