A new 7-point Progressive Agenda will be delivered this Saturday to tens of thousands of Americans demonstrating nationwide for U.S. troops out of Iraq and no attack on Iran.
Progressive Democrats of America, along with a coalition of groups, will be distributing the “Progressive Challenge 2008” agenda by the thousands at more than a dozen demonstrations across the country.
Endorsed by leading peace and justice advocates such as Barbara Ehrenreich, Jim Hightower, Jackson Browne, Mayor Rocky Anderson, Bill Fletcher, Jr. and Tom Hayden, “Progressive Challenge 2008” will be utilized in the coming months by activists to confront candidates for office, including presidential candidates.
“This agenda has grown organically out of the last few years of progressive activism,” said PDA national director Tim Carpenter, “from Iraq and Iran to universal single-payer healthcare to fair trade to clean, fair elections to media reform. As Democratic activists use Progressive Challenge 2008 to confront presidential candidates, we expect to see some embracing much of the agenda, while others (like those who get campaign funds from Rupert Murdoch) run from it.”
The agenda of Progressive Challenge 2008:
1) End Imperial Foreign Policy, Redirect Funding 2) Healthcare for All
3) Economic Justice
4) Stop Global Warming
5) Reproductive Freedom/Civil Rights & Civil Liberties
6) Clean, Fair, Transparent Elections
7) Media Reform
