Welcome to the Columbia University College Democrats Official Blog

As the new year kicks off in style I wanted to take a moment to welcome everyone to the Democrats and our shiny updated blog. Last year ended with a promise to make this campus the hub for progressive activity in the New York are and that's precisely what we plan to do. Whether you're interested in equal marriage rights, legislative action, the primary season (and who isn't interested in that), or just partying with fellow liberals, the democrats have a place for you. Our organization is one of the few on campus that not only allows but strongly encourages freshmen to take on leadership positions and start working towards our goal of creating the pulse of liberal activism at Columbia. In the coming weeks you'll search around, look into some of the other student groups on campus and hopefully remember that the Columbia Dems mean Action. And this is college folks - everyone wants action. So post on the blog, come to our open house, join an umbrella group, and become part of the progressive movement in this country. And if you think it all sounds too good to be true just come to a meeting and we'll show you why Columbia Dems are the national college democrats chapter of the year.
