Mission Statement: The mission of the College Democrats of Montana State University is to engage students in the democratic process and foster an atmosphere of empowerment, to educate inclusivity, and create campus community. We strive to create an environment that values diversity, equality, and social justice, while advocating for policies and initiatives that address the needs and aspirations of our generation. Our mission encompasses three core principles: 1. Empowerment: We aim to empower students by providing them with the tools, resources, and knowledge necessary to be informed, active citizens. Through educational programs, workshops, and discussions, we promote political awareness, critical thinking, and effective advocacy skills. We encourage our members to find their voices, express their opinions, and make a meaningful impact on issues that matter to them. 2. Education: We are committed to fostering a culture of intellectual growth and open dialogue. We seek to enhance our members' understanding of democratic principles, social justice, and policy matters at local, state, and national levels. We host seminars, guest speakers, and collaborative events that encourage learning, respectful debate, and the exchange of diverse perspectives. By promoting political literacy, we strive to develop future leaders who can navigate complex political landscapes and effective political change. 3. Mobilization: We recognize that true change requires collective action. We actively engage with our community, collaborating with other student organizations, local campaigns, and democratic initiatives. Through voter registration drives, campaign volunteering, and issue-based advocacy, we strive to mobilize students to participate in elections, promote progressive policies, and amplify their voices. We aim to be a catalyst for positive change, inspiring our members to become active agents of social and political transformation.
