We urge progressive candidates to lead the way with bold new legislative agendas to meet the challenges of our time. We face three main crises; Environmental, Economic  and Societal. Together, they exacerbate an increasing divide that fosters inequalities in income and opportunity, a breeding ground for social and political restlessness.





Our Vision and Values

We will lead progressive bold agendas to improve America's quality of life by electing genuine  progressives to local, state and federal offices who see government as a positive force and will fight for public policies reflecting such values as equality, opportunity, social justice and fairness.
