Co-authored by Anuradha Mittal and Felicia Gustin and featuring a foreword by people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s historian Howard Zinn, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Turning the Tide,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d calls for a broad-based, progressive movement on college campuses to counter the ever emerging college conservative movement. The report analyses the history and strategies employed by the right in order to gain political influence among students. College Republicans is a growing organization and has increased its total membership three-fold to over 120,000 members on over a thousand college campuses. Over the course of a decade, conservative opinions are increasingly finding favor among college freshmen. According to a 2003 survey sponsored by the American Council of Education, 53 percent of college freshman favored ending affirmative action, while only 55 percent favored reproductive rights, down from two-thirds in 1992. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Turning the Tide,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d concludes by presenting options on how to construct a framework for progressive organizing on college campuses. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.speakoutnow.org\">www.speakoutnow.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Download the report here:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.campusactivism.org\/server-new\/uploads\/turningthetide.pdf<\/p>\n<p>To order a copy of Turning the Tide, send $10 check or money order (includes shipping &#038; handling) along with your name and address to:<\/p>\n<p>Speak Out<br \/>\nPO Box 99096<br \/>\nEmeryville CA 94662<\/p>\n<p>To charge to your Visa or Mastercard, call<br \/>\n510-601-0182.<\/p>\n<p>Bulk copies of the report are also available by contacting Speak Out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: Felicia Gustin, co-Author of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Turning the Tide,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and co-director of Speak Out As the school year begins for many university students across the nation, a new report entitled, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Turning the Tide: Challenging the Right on Campus,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d has just been released by Speak Out and the Oakland Institute.
