The heart of the New Progressive Alliance is the Unified Platform. It is the basis of our approving candidates, allies, and Public Comments on specific policy recommendations. It is also the basis of disapproving documentation on candidates and organizations at Don’t Let These People or Organizations Fool You. 

If you agree with us, then we as a 501c4 Educational Organization would like to help you. Please use Make Your Case to help you document with over 10,000 references which are continuously added to and updated as well as many other resources. You may use anything on our website without permission, though if it is helpful we hope you mention us to help others. Please let us know if you have any suggestions or additions.

Because we are in special consultative status with the U.N. Economic and Social Council we can offer volunteers a chance to attend meetings or write papers for the United Nations through the NPA. See So You Want to Volunteer for the United Nations. 

We can have Peace! We can put People first! We can begin reversing the damage unbridled greed has already caused our precious Planet! Are you truly fed up, ready to stop complaining and start channeling your anger toward building a new America?

It will take a lot. Voting is important, but not enough. The New Progressive Alliance can operate as a poor man's think tank and supply documentation, but that is also not enough. It will also take year round effort, organizing on and off the streets, and coordinating with people we may not like.  Click Volunteer to get started!

Former Minneapolis Mayoral candidate Doug Mann, running for Minneapolis School Board, 65A has endorsed the Unified Platform and earned our endorsement. He joins more than 60 independent and third-party candidates who have endorsed the platform's commonsense call for putting Peace, People and the Planet above profits. 

You'll find Mann's writings here.

 The New Progressive Alliance (NPA) s a 100-percent volunteer, educational organization comprised of ACTIVE ACTIVISTS dedicated to improving the lives of working men and women and their families by positively influencing public policy. We work to awaken Americans to the reality that only through supporting candidates who support our concerns will those concerns be met. Toward that end, we support the Unified Platform; participate in official public comment opportunities to regulatory agencies; and sponsor and partake in a host of events designed to raise public consciousness of the extent to which corporations maintain near-total control of the political and policy-making process in this country.

I.  News: (Publishing in social media means at a minimum showing a reference to an article.  In Facebook we publish at New Progressive Alliance, and four other Facebook pages. Because of censorship and privacy problems with Facebook, we also publish on the social networks MeWe, JustNform, and Twitter. (In JustNform we publish in Truth Bomb Activists and an NPA page.) Connections to all of our allies may be found here. Our endorsed candidates for public office are listed here.

• In December we published an article on United Nations efforts on climate change.
• In December 2018 we published an article urging a clean budget without deceptive riders and for the government not to be shut down.
• In December we published an article showing the democrats are not serious about combating climate change.
• In December we published “US and Russia ally with Saudi Arabia to water down climate pledge.” This is pretty pathetic before the rest of the world. Saudi Arabia and Russia?
• In December  we tweeted in the social media Twitter that 265 groups called on Congress to pass a budget without any harmful policy riders.
• In December 2018 the New Progressive Alliance acting in concert with other organizations has been successful in having organizations withdraw from the evil corrupt lobbying group of ALEC. See https://www.commoncause.org/resource/coalition-letters-to-alec-corporate-funders-over-david-horowitz-involvement-in-alec/
• In November 2018 we published an article that exposed the risks of blindly following either the democrats or republicans without considering alternatives.
• In November  we posted on Twitter an encouragement to have an open clean budget and not give in to “poison pills” to avoid a government shutdown.
• The Black and anti-war movements are welcome and needed. In November 2018 we published an article welcoming both.
• Gary Swing has been supporting and running as a Green since the Green Party’s inception. It is worthwhile to look at his experiences in figuring out the way ahead. In November 2018 we published his article “It’s not easy being Green.”
• Female genital mutilation is torture of young females pure and simple. It is not anything like circumcision or ear piercing. It is absolutely shameful that this should be allowed in this country. In November  we published an article documenting a judge treating female genital mutilation as a constitutional right.
• In November  we offered a free bumper sticker that says "We all do better when We all do better."
• In November  we published an analysis by Gary Swing of the 2018 Green Party election results.
• In November  the New Progressive Alliance published two articles on the need for election reform.
• In November  the New Progressive Alliance warned in two articles about the continuing incompetence and corruption of the democrats.
• In November 2018 the New Progressive Alliance welcomed the People for Equitable Public Schools as an ally. We need to preserve public education.
• Nothing will be more important to future generations than what we do now about climate change. In November 2018 the New Progressive Alliance was pleased to welcome the “3% Project” and “Fossil Banks – No Thanks” as allies. 

The 3% Project mobilizes 1,000,000 Canadian youth - that's 3% of Canada - through 5 national tours across 600 schools. It provides youth-friendly and holistic education on climate change and empowers them to take action on solving climate change in their local communities today. As a result, we achieve more consensuses across Canada that climate change is happening, mainly caused by human activities.

Fossil Banks – No Thanks: Climate change, long considered an urgent but future threat, is now with us, and already impacting the lives of millions of people around the world. It's being driven in large part by the continued exploration and burning of coal, oil and gas. To stop a further climate breakdown we urgently need to bring the fossil fuel era to an end. One way to achieve this is to stop large commercial banks from financing the fossil fuel industry. Only massive public pressure will make banks end their support for this climate-wrecking industry. That is why we started this campaign.

II. United Nations:

III. Public Comments:

    The NPA continues to make Public Comments to federal agencies and legislative bodies in the United States and Canada on specific issues to support the Unified Platform  To see all Public Comments  in full we have made since 2012 or to see them summarized with our other activities in Annual Reports look here.

Public Comment 190: December 2018 – Stop Methanol Refinery The world's largest fracked gas methanol refinery should not be built! All the danger, pollution, and traffic congestion stays in the United States while the profits and jobs go to China. This is bad on every level. The New Progressive Alliance strongly opposes it.

Public Comment 189: November 2018 – Congress – Clean Budget The New Progressive Alliance has made many Public Comments supporting an open clean budget and opposing secret deals which encourage corruption.

Mulvaney has done a horrible job at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Kraninger - his replacement - promises to be just as bad.  The New Progressive Alliance with other organizations opposed the decline of the CFRB with Public Comments 187 and 188.

Public Comment 188: November 2018 – US Senate oppose any who supports Mulvaney as Director CFPB

Public Comment 187: November 2018 – US Senate oppose Kraninger for Director CFPB

Public Comment 186: November 2018 - The New Progressive Alliance with Public Comment 186 supported public education and Minnesota’s People for Equitable Public Schools.

Public Comment 185: November 2018 - The New Progressive Alliance  urged the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency to oppose fracking by opposing the Tacoma LNG Project.

Public Comment 184: November 2018 - The New Progressive Alliance  opposed the State Department approval of the Keystone XL pipeline.

Public Comment 183: October 2018 - Banks - Stop Financing Fossil Fuels - In October 2018 the New Progressive Alliance made a Public Comment with 121 other organizations urging banks to stop financing fossil fuels. 

Public Comment 182: October 2018 – Trump stop using the military for fossil fuel expansion - In October 2018 the New Progressive Alliance made a Public Comment opposing Trump’s plan to use military bases for fossil fuel expansion by exporting coal. This puts an unnecessary burden on the military bases, bypasses the authority of state environmental regulation, and expands the fossil fuel industry using tax dollars.

Public Comment 181: October 2018 – Trump – Leave Afghanistan. In October 2018 the New Progressive Alliance with other organizations made the below Public Comment opposing the continuous war in Afghanistan. We have now been in Afghanistan longer than Vietnam. The price – both financially and in blood – has been great, but there have been no verifiable good results.

In 2012, the New Progressive Alliance (NPA) started by endorsing 54 candidates from 23 states who publicly endorsed and pledged to work for the commonsense policies outlined in the Unified Platform (UP).  This page provides more information about the brave men and women who are blazing the trail for the future of democracy in America. If you would like to join them check Elections and So You Want to Run for Office.  That trail is wholly 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 ever-more enriched military-industrial-Wall Street complex.

We are a 501c4 educational organization, not a political party. We cannot help a candidate directly, but we can note by endorsement when a candidate pledges to support the Unified Platform. We can also disavow a candidate  when through his actions or statements it becomes clear he does not support the Unified Platform.

Also as a 501c4 educational organization, we are  moving towards becoming more of a think tank which supplies documentation to support people and organizations that back the Unified Platform. We will still list candidates that support the Unified Platform, but we will not seek them out.
