Half in Ten as a Cause for a New Generation of Young Progressives
On the morning of July 8, former Senator John Edwards introduced the Half in Ten campaign to over a thousand young progressive activists, in his keynote address to the Campus Progress National Conference in Washington, D.C. Encouraging the students to get involved in the effort to cut poverty in half in ten years, Edwards asked each of the attendees to sign up on www.halfinten.org, and to encourage ten friends to do the same. Attendees responded warmly to his challenge that “the voices of a generation must join together for a great call for change…that next battle to right our country’s great injustices must be led by you,”.
