Launched in 2005 as Campus Progress, in 2013 the organization was renamed Generation Progress to reflect the group's work to reach beyond college campuses and involve older, working-class, and non-college-bound young people, in progressive activism.[2] Their main issue areas cover gun violence prevention, criminal justice reform, progressive economics, student debt, immigration, and climate change.
Generation Progress has a sister organization, Generation Progress Action, that engages in political and electoral advocacy activities in elections.[3]
