CampusProgress.org is a website that is getting college students involved with politics. This website engages people by giving them many opportunities to either get involved or to just read up on current politics. This site is different than an official website of a politician because it is a non-partisan website that invites all political viewpoints to join in and voice their opinion on issues that matter.
This site allows users to interact through:
- contributing to website whether it be through writing articles, drawing political cartoons, or giving a commentary on audio or video
- attending or hosting events
- offering internships, jobs, and club membership.
I like this website because it focuses on young adults and appeals to me by speaking of progressive politics that involve peace, college affordability, and global warming issues just to name a few. I also like that the site is run by students, for students and many of the issues that appeal to my peers also appeal to me as well. The site also offers students a different take on politics through the
Arts and Culture page that shows political issue through film, TV, comics, books, and music commentary.
But, mostly I like this website because it gives politics a rich and inviting culture and takes the blandness and insipid nature out of the word "politics."
