Progressive U.org was started back in 2005 by Art Morgan of San Mateo, CA. His mission was to change the way media was presented, and to reach out to the younger generation.

Progressive U now boasts of over 35,000 members, many of which are students competing for the bi-annual scholarships of $1000, and $500.

If you haven't heard of us before, check us out. We're always looking for new ideas to be presented on the site.

ProgressiveU provides young people with the opportunity to discover, analyze and discuss the values and democratic principles that promote a healthy and just society. This includes, but is not limited to, open discussion of current events, progressive values, and public policy priorities.

As far as this page goes, we just want to reach out. If you want something done on the site, bring it to our attention. Post things that matter here using the posted items application. See what we're reviewing in the Between the Lines Column. Talk to the real people behind the screen names on ProgressiveU.
