• Democracy Matters
  Democracy Matters is a national organization that works with college students on efforts to strengthen democracy in the United States. We focus on the issue of money and politics in America-and on the promise and passage of campaign finance reform. Through Democracy Matters, students are given a voice in the movement for campaign finance reform, an opportunity to make democracy matter, and an entrée into lifelong civic engagement.
  Democracy Matters was founded by students and faculty at Colgate in the fall of 2000. There are now Democracy Matters groups in five states. Interested students should contact Brandy or check out the national website.
• Coalition for a Better World
  An outreach program begun through ALANA, Coalition for a Better World plans events and programs to promote diversity and engage the campus community. Each month the coalition holds an open house planned around a theme, including topics such as poverty and health, ALANA awareness and the environment. "We are a group that helps to educate the campus about cultural issues," says one member. "We want people, and more varied people, to come to the center." 
  
• College Democrats
  The purpose of the College Democrats is to stimulate student political thought and active interest in governmental affairs, to support and promote the ideals and principles of the Democratic Party of the United States, and foster a diversity of ideas on campus through open debates, speakers, and social activities. More specifically, we make our national legislative priorities known by bringing in speakers, establishing communication between professors and students regarding political issues, interacting with the Democratic Party on the local level, and by keeping in contact with our home representatives in government.

• Students for Social Justice                               Students for Social Justice (SSJ) is a student led group working to promote awareness and action around issues of social justice.
