Create a national department of bottom-up, which will develop and identify ways to make government, leadership, funding, and other aspects of our culture less hierarchical, less patriarchal, and more. Patriarchal and more bottom-up, decentralized and consistent with indigenous world views as it's described by Four Arrows AKA Don Jacobs.

Develop, messaging, and languaging and framing that persuades a majority of the public to see Progressive approaches and values as most consistent with their own interests, needs, and values. This is to counteract successful efforts by the right to characterize progressives as Communists, fascists, and terrorists.

Develop policies and funding that effectively encourage Israelis to divest from right-wing politicians and policies and to move toward peaceful relationships with Palestinians.

That's the start of ideas mostly off the top of my head. Thoughts. And here's a list that I had AI generate.

search the web for 50-year Progressive goals. and list 50 of them in order of popularity. Find at least 25 different lists like this even if some are 10 years old.

A comprehensive compilation of 50-year progressive goals can be gathered by drawing from major national and grassroots Progressive organizations, legislative caucus agendas, historical summaries, and think tank policy platform lists. The following list draws from multiple recent and established sources, prioritizing popularity and recurrence while synthesizing themes and specifics across at least 25 sources over the past decade[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]:

"When shall it be said in any country of the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive...when these things can be said, then may that country boast of its constitution and government."~ Thomas Paine"
