Political/Activist Groups and Organizations
College Democrats
The purpose of the College Democrats is to
represent and foster the views of the Democratic Party at Albion College. As a
political organization we help college students become involved in political
issues and elections through campaigning, sponsoring speakers, and attending
regional, state, and national political functions. The Democrats provide
information to the campus regarding the Democratic platform and its candidates
for office. The group also works on voter registration drives, increasing
voter turnout, and other citizenship activities regardless of political
affiliation.
Ecological Awareness Club
Ecological Awareness Club (Eco-club) is dedicated to
promoting education and awareness of environmental concerns within the Albion community. Activities include
expanding campus-wide
recycling, sponsoring environmental programs and speakers and
promoting changes to campus policy. The main goal is to disseminate
information and encourage activism.
Peace Action
Albion College Peace Action is an affiliate of the Student Peace Action Network
(SPAN), the student chapter of the national grassroots organization Peace
Action. Peace Action shall seek to promote peace, justice, and social
responsibility in the community, nationally, and globally, through the exercise
of the freedoms of assembly, conscience, and speech. We shall seek to
generate positive change through education (including but not limited to
sponsoring speakers, film series, forums, peace-related conferences/trips, and
so forth) and direct action (including but not limited to demonstrations,
teach-ins, letter-writing campaigns, petitions, and so forth).
College Republicans
College Republicans promote an awareness of political
issues from a conservative point of view. This is accomplished
through campaign work for Republican candidates, guest
speakers, and group discussions. The organization offers
interested students opportunities for leadership and connections with state and local GOP officials.
