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, Leftist Third Party and  Independent Candidates, and Green Party Activists. 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.

• In August we published a book review by Sondra Miller on the book “STAR SPANGLED SHARIAH.”
• Robin Hensel is running for Little Falls, MN mayor election on November 6, 2018. She has endorsed the Unified Platform and in August 2018 earned the New Progressive Alliance endorsement just as she did in 2014. For details and a full list of those who have endorsed the Unified Platform see this.
• In August 2018 we published an article documenting police abuse in Florida, “Pinellas Greens Statement on Clearwater Racist Murder: “Gualtieri, get the Hell out of Pinellas!” 
• In August 2018 the New Progressive Alliance welcomes Future Today by Jeremy Leggett as an ally because it gives real relevant news about climate, energy, tech, and the future of civilization.
• In July 2018 we published "The Largest Third Party in America" by Sondra Miller.
• In July 2018 we started publishing an NPA site and Truth Bomb Activists on JustNform because of problems with privacy and censorship on Facebook.
• Sondra Miller is one of the pillars of the New Progressive Alliance. We published in July 2018 her article where she questions what a real progressive is. It is crucial to answer this question to progress.
• In July 2018 we welcomed Ilkmade as our 54^th ally. Ilkmade is a news sharing site that brings together Political Science scholars, policy researchers and practitioners onto a single platform and provide them the tools to share and discuss ideas and points of view that really matter. It does not have an agenda, but it does allow academic arguments to be made. This is important because as, as Chris Hedges has pointed out in his many books, academia has failed us and we need alternatives.
• In July 2018 we published an article about increased gentrification in Florida.
• In June 2018 we published an article about the need for whistleblowers such as Julian Assange.
• In June 2018 the New Progressive Alliance  welcomed “Classrooms, Not Computers” and “Center for Political Accountability” as allies 

Center for Political Accountability: American citizens — and even shareholders — don't know which companies are influencing elections, how much they spend, or what the consequences are to this country. The lack of transparency — and the opportunities for bias, preferential treatment, and backroom deals — runs counter to the very concept of our democracy. The Center for Political Accountability seeks corporate political disclosure and accountability.

“Classrooms, Not Computers” seeks to promote a democratic, humane, developmentally appropriate public school environment and to oppose our current corporate public school structure.

• In June 2018 we published an article describing how the social media spreads false information.
• In June 2018 the New Progressive Alliance welcomed the Black Agenda Network as an ally. The Black Agenda Network features news, commentary, and analysis from the black left.

• In June 2018 we published an article on the many continuing efforts of the United States expanding an empire.
• We need to look towards long term trends for the future instead of hoping trends remain the same as in the past. Both republicans and democrats fail to do this. In June 2018 we published an article to this effect.
  
• In June 2018 we published the social media sites we were using and said we had trouble with privacy and censorship on Facebook.

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.

In July 2018 the New Progressive Alliance made Public Comments 168-169 to oppose irrelevant riders in the legislature and support adoption while opposing discrimination in the adoption process.

• Public Comment 169: July 2018 - Congress - Don't Allow Adoption Discrimination
• Public Comment 168: July 2018 – US Senate – Oppose Irrelevant Riders

(This is similar to Public Comment 163 except it is aimed specifically at the US Senate instead of the US House of Representatives.)

In July 2018 the New Progressive Alliance made  Public Comments 165 - 167 to support the environment against fracking natural gas, coal, and nuclear waste.

• Public Comment 167: July 2018 – US DOE - Clean Up Hanford Nuclear

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.
