WASHINGTON, D.C. – July 21st, 2024 – As College Democrats, we thank President Joe Biden for his commitment to public service and stand behind his decision to pass the torch to a new presidential nominee. President Biden’s administration has been one of the most successful in history – from advancing climate action and expanding healthcare access to fighting for social justice and equity, his administration has set a strong foundation for the future.

WASHINGTON D.C. - July 17th, 2024 - In the wake of Senator Menendez’s recent conviction, College Democrats of America and The College Democrats of New Jersey urge Senator Robert Menendez to resign from the Senate. If Senator Menendez refuses to resign, the Senate should swiftly expel him. Senator Menendez’s conviction for sixteen corruption-related charges proves that he has betrayed his oath of office, and we believe it is his moral duty to let someone who truly represents his constituents take over.

WASHINGTON D.C. - July 8th, 2024 - As College Democrats, we serve as grassroots organizers of the democratic cause and are those most impacted by the results of the upcoming election. We spend innumerable hours, going door to door to speak with voters as well as organizing our peers who overwhelmingly vote blue. Additionally, looming effects of climate change, increasing income inequality, rising costs of home ownership, record levels of polarization, growing distrust in our democratic system, and unwavering global injustice are bound to debilitate our lives for the coming decades if we fail to secure the Presidency in November.

WASHINGTON D.C. - June 28th, 2024 - The College Democrats of America, Gen-Z for Change, and the Sunrise Movement issued the following statement regarding the NY-16 Congressional primary election:

In an election where it was the many vs. the money, we proudly supported Jamaal Bowman, a people-powered candidate and champion of the values of young Americans across the country. In the halls of Congress, Bowman has been a staunch advocate for progressive policies such as Medicare for All and the Green New Deal for Public Schools. As a former educator and public school principal, Congressman Bowman has been well aware of the challenges impacting young Americans and continues to be an ardent proponent of our generation’s best interests, even if it brings him into the crosshairs of moneyed interests.

Today, College Democrat clubs from across the University of California system and their partners at the California College Democrats, and College Democrats of America stand in solidarity with the UAW 4811 as they strike in defense of free speech, peaceful protest & collective action. Such protests are a direct response to the UCs’ violent suppression of their faculty and students peacefully protesting for a more just international community in each of their nine undergraduate campuses; students armed with nothing more than signs, chants and moral clarity were met with pepper spray, batons and riot shields.

WASHINGTON D.C. - June 15th, 2024 - Due to twice-impeached and convicted former President Donald Trump fulfilling his promise to appoint extreme conservatives to the court, the Supreme Court struck down a ban on bump stocks. Every day, more than 120 people are killed by guns, and allowing bump stocks to remain easily accessible further exacerbates this problem. As College Democrats we've experienced first hand the horrors of our nation’s gun violence epidemic, ducking and covering amidst both during drills and the presence of active shooters.

WASHINGTON D.C. - April 30, 2024 - This past week, we witnessed heroic actions on the part of students around the country to protest and sit in for an end to the war in Palestine and the release of the hostages. Since the beginning of this conflict, College Democrats and students from every walk of life have had the moral clarity to see this war for what it is: destructive, genocidal, and unjust.

WASHINGTON D.C. - April 21, 2024 - The College Democrats of America applaud President Biden’s recent announcement of protecting more than 13 million acres of lands in the Western Arctic from drilling. The announcement, made last week, bans fossil fuel drilling on nearly half of the Alaskan National Petroleum Reserve and moves to block the Trump administration’s Ambler Road in the Alaskan wilderness, a project that would have facilitated the development of at least four large-scale mines and would have perpetuated the harmful impacts of drilling.

WASHINGTON D.C. - April 12th, 2024 - The College Democrats of America, following the Arizona Supreme Court ruling which reinstates a 160 Year Old Near-Complete Abortion ban, are calling on Congress to pass legislation that promotes, and ensure women's rights to choose and enshrines their reproductive rights into federal law, restoring Roe V. Wade Era protections throughout the nation.

WASHINGTON D.C. - April 8th, 2024 - Recently, the House passed H.R. 7521, a piece of legislation that leaves TikTok’s future in the United States uncertain. The College Democrats of America are calling on the Senate to overwhelmingly reject this House resolution.

WASHINGTON D.C. - March 8th, 2024 - The College Democrats of America are calling on House Republicans to pass the Bipartisan Senate National Security Agreement immediately to secure our southern border, expand executive powers, and support overall immigration.

WASHINGTON D.C. - March 1st, 2024 -The College Democrats of America (CDA), CDA Equality Caucus, College Democrats of Oklahoma (CDOK), and CDOK Stonewall Caucus are devastated by the passing of Nex Benedict. Benedict, a 16-year-old student and non-binary descendant of the Choctaw Nation, was assaulted in their high school bathroom after experiencing bullying related to their gender identity for over a year.

WASHINGTON D.C. - January 17th, 2024 - The College Democrats of America are deeply disturbed by the intimidation tactics employed by a major candidate and someone working for both the candidate and the state party to stall the endorsement of Andy Kim in the New Jersey Senate Democratic Primary.
