Healthcare/Medicare for All is a bedrock Progressive issue.

Police Reform

How many deaths will it take? Policing in America is too violent. Each year in the US police kill roughly a thousand people. That's bad for communities, bad for the police officers involved, bad for the rule of law, and most-importantly, totally unnecessary.

Progressives are committed to pressing for police reform.

An End to US Militarism and Colonialism

US foreign policy has been rooted in militarism for nearly two centuries. True diplomacy has been nothing more than a caged exhibit down at the State Department for decades.

Progressives want America to be a social, environmental, and economic partner with the rest of the world, not an enforcer and intimidator of other nations. Mitigation of catastrophic military undertakings has been a defining and uniting theme for the Progressive movement from its inception.

Human Rights

A lack of respect for basic human dignity has been at the root of every misguided episode in mankind's history. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, in a real and tangible sense, is what Progressives want for all members of the extended human family.

It is attainable.
