NPA Facilitator Thoughts on Labor

From a member of our newly formed discussion group in NJ -

THE PATH FORWARD FOR THE NEW YEAR

I want to share my thoughts about the path forward for the NPA and be open to enlightenment and comments about your thoughts.

The path forward should include continuing the work already in progress including sharing the Unified Progressive Platform with candidates for public office, maintaining the website, and communicating with Volunteers and other progressive organizations.

The opportunity for new goals is with the State Liaisons, but the goals need to be focused so as not to require too much volunteer time or overburden the Liaisons.

2013-2015 Candidates

In 2012 the New Progressive Alliance endorsed 54 candidates from 23 states. These candidates sought seats ranging from school boards to sheriff to U.S. Congress (both houses) to the presidency - THREE for that last office alone! - are blazing the trail for the future of democracy in America. It is a trail very different than that which the Democratic and Republican parties take us down election after election, with the same predictable result: A disenfranchised working class and an ever-more enriched military-industrial-Wall Street complex.
