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.

Visit this page often to learn what we're working on - and please, join our effort to put PEOPLE BEFORE PROFITS!

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 216: October 2019 – EPA – No methane rollbacks.   In October the New Progressive Alliance urged the EPA not to roll back methane limitations in Public Comment 216. Because of methane's potency—some estimates suggest the greenhouse gas has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide—environmentalists and scientists have warned the Trump administration's efforts to gut methane regulations could have disastrous consequences.

Public Comment 215: September 2019 –US HOR – DC Statehood.   In September the New Progressive Alliance joined many other organizations in urging DC statehood.

Public Comment 214: September 2019 –USAA leave ALEC.   In September the New Progressive Alliance with Public Comment 214 joined 24 other organizations in urging the USAA – an insurance that supports veterans - to drop out of ALEC. ALEC supports predatory lending, fossil fuels, privatizing the Veterans Administration and opposes raising the minimum wage and Medicaid. 

Public Comment 213: September 2019 – US HOR – Restrain FERC.   In September the New Progressive Alliance joined the Delaware Riverkeeper and other organizations in urging Congress to hold FERC accountable for environmental regulation.

Public Comment 212: September 2019 – US HOR – Overturn Citizens United.   In September the New Progressive Alliance joined 122 other organizations in urging the United States House of Representatives to co-sponsor H.J. Res. 2, the bipartisan Democracy For All constitutional amendment that would restore the authority of Congress and the states to set commonsense rules for the raising and spending of money on elections to advance political equality for all Americans. The amendment would overturn the disastrous Citizens United U.S. Supreme Court decision that allowed unlimited amounts of political spending to influence our elections.  For years, the American people have demanded lawmakers curb the influence of money in politics. In June, New Hampshire became the 20th state to call on Congress to pass a constitutional amendment to address the harm caused by Citizens United. These 20 states as well as more than 800 localities across the country, representing more than 140 million Americans, have expressed support for an amendment.

Public Comment 211: August 2019 - Puget Sound Clean Air Agency – Deny LNG Facility.   The New Progressive Alliance wrote to the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency urging it to deny the proposed LNG facility based upon an inadequate Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.

Public Comment 210: August 2019 - Congress - Amendment to Overturn Citizens United.  In August the New Progressive Alliance joined 115 other organizations in urging Congress to enact an amendment to overturn Citizens United which has been disastrous for our economy.

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.
