Welcome to Progressive Massachusetts
Progressive Massachusetts (“Progressive Mass”) is a new, statewide, diverse grassroots organization built from the ground up by organizers and activists from across Massachusetts. We will organize around progressive issues in Massachusetts, help elect and support progressive candidates for public office who are committed to making a difference on these issues, and hold elected officials accountable to progressive positions and values. Progressive Mass welcomes all progressives regardless of political affiliation.
Progressive Mass will work to build a progressive reality in Massachusetts through:
- Issue Organizing: We will choose issues and take policy positions through a democratic decision-making process. We will organize our members to take actions in support of these public policies, including direct contact with elected officials.
- Electoral Organizing: We will evaluate, endorse, and support candidates for public office in Massachusetts who represent the progressive values and goals of the organization, including in party primaries. Candidates will be endorsed through a democratic process, using criteria developed by the membership.
- Organization Building & Education: We will build the membership and power of Progressive Mass through: support for local volunteer leadership, regular meetings in every part of the state, statewide conventions, trainings, social activities, local and statewide direct political actions, and other activities that will assure that the organization’s participation, size and political clout continue to grow. We will also educate progressives and other residents from across the state about our work, the policy issues at stake, and the positions and actions of elected officials.
