Our Revolution (OR), Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), and  The State Democratic Party Progressive Network Introduce 2024 Progressive Platform Proposals (PPP) 

The 2024 presidential election presents a challenge for progressives to preserve and  amplify our voice while fighting the most dangerous threat to US democracy in our nation’s  history.  

We believe our best strategy to advance both goals is for progressives to advocate for a  policy agenda that builds and expands upon progressive elements of President Biden’s  original Build Back Better (BBB) plan, become state and national delegates at the  Democratic Party conventions, and elect President Biden for a second term.  

With our support and voice, progressives may persuade and enable President Biden to  achieve more progressive policy objectives during his second term and prevent a fascist  takeover. 

Therefore, we will submit the following policy proposals to the Democratic Party Platform  Committee in advance of this summer’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and  we will organize support for these proposals across the country in the lead up to the DNC. 

We intend this to be a unifying effort, urge the second Biden administration to fulfill the  ten (10) policy objectives outlined in these proposals, and invite the Democratic presidential campaign to engage in dialogue with us to achieve unity and progressive  electoral support around them.
