i have a (hopefully) simple request for kossacks:
what are the top challenges facing progressives in attempting to organize college students? here are a few i've brainstormed:
- college progressive groups do not have enough funding
- the machinery for helping progressive college activists transition into members of the progressive professional class (as progressive journalists, think tahnkers, campaign staff, etc.) is not very well-oiled
- progressive internships and entry-level jobs pay poorly if at all
- progressive college groups are frequently disorganized, within and across campuses
- progressive college groups frequently don't have their technology act together (ie, don't have a website/discussion group/mailing list)
- progressive college groups frequently have little if any institutional memory
any others? if possible, i'd really appreciate a few links to articles on this topic.
thanks!!
