Shaping a progressive vision


Shared
Prosperity

When our economic systems work fairly for everyone, we all do better.

See Our Agenda


Racial &
Social Justice

When we structure our laws and legal systems for equity and inclusion, rather than control and exclusion, we’re all safer.

See Our Agenda

Sustainable Infrastructure
& Environment

When we accelerate our transition to a clean and green economy, we all benefit from healthier lives and a healthier planet.

See Our Agenda

Good Government, Strong Democracy

When we have a democracy in which everyone can participate, we all benefit from the better policies that result.

See Our Agenda

But how progressive is Massachusetts really?

We’re one of the wealthiest states in the US, and a leader in economic inequality. Would we rather lead on economic opportunity?

Lots of national policy starts at the state level. States that can lead, must lead.

We still have the reputation for being a progressive state, but we’re not living up to it.

When only some are doing better, we all do worse in the long run.

Staying Organized Year-Round

Communities of activists and support for budding activists

How can we counter special interest money and legislative complacency? With organized people.

Members and chapters working in unison —
that’s grassroots power.

Advocacy tools so anyone can become an everyday lobbyist

Accountability tools so you can find out what our elected officials are supporting

Are your legislators fighting for progressive policies?  How can you know? Statehouse systems don’t make it easy to find out, and when you look, be ready to be surprised!
