Although founded as a committee of UNC Young Democrats, it is now an independent organization that aims to provide a forum for open dialogue on progressive ideals at UNC-Chapel Hill and in the greater community. The intent is to produce a publication that will cover political, cultural, and social news as well as publish pertinent opinion columns that will promote discussion about progressive ideals.
