New Compass youth blog

For technical reasons, the Compass youth blog has now moved here.

online campaigning

I think the development of Lamont/Lieberman has been very interesting:http://www.slate.com/id/2147255/fr/nl/

“the videos offered a regular dose of entertainment to supporters who were interested but not obsessed.”

This is obviously a key constituency of people.

Climate change

At last week’s meeting we discussed doing some campaigning on climate change and environmental issues in general.

Ideas for discussion include:

• a campaign in favour of school buses for all students and improved transport on university campuses.
• the question of how we promote a green lifestyle and sustainable choices
• our attitude to the recent energy review

Any thoughts and ideas on this would be appreciated.

Minimum wage campaign

We’re planning an event to launch the campaign for a single minimum wage with no discrimination against young workers on October 10th.

Organisational issues will be discussed on the email list but if anyone’s got any ideas about the policy stuff involved or links to relevant things, please post them here.

Welcome to Compass youth blog

This is a new blog for young members of the democratice left pressure group Compass to discuss ideas about what the Compass youth group is and should be doing, as well as other relevant political issues.

Views expressed on this site are views of the individuals expressing them and don’t represent the collective views of Compass or its Management Committee.
