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 Green Party is important, but it is 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 is 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! 

I.  News: (Publishing in social media means at a minimum showing a reference to an article  in Facebook at both New Progressive Alliance and Leftist Third Party and Independent Candidates. Connections to all of our allies may be found here.)

• In October 2017 the New Progressive Alliance published a United Nations warning with documentation on climate change.
• In October 2017 the New Progressive Alliance welcomed the Delaware Riverkeeper Network as an ally. While national and international environmental efforts have not always been successful, often local efforts such as made by this plucky organization have been more successful in stopping fossil fuel expansion. The goals fit well with the NPA’s Unified Platform stand on saving the environment.
• In October 2017 we published an article on how continuous multi-generational war in many countries is draining the United States.
• In October 2017 we published an article on how little changes between democrats and republicans.

• In October 2017 the New Progressive Alliance welcomed the Health and Environment Alliance as an ally. The Health and Environment Alliance is a leading European not-for-profit organization addressing how the environment affects health in the European Union and demonstrating how policy changes can help protect health and enhance people’s quality of life. The goals fit well with the NPA’s Unified Platform stand on saving the environment and Medicare for all.

• DESA NGO Newsletter

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 see them summarized with our other activities in Annual Reports look here.

• Public Comment 138: October 2017 – World Bank - Stop Financing Fossil Fuels - In October 2017 the New Progressive Alliance urged the World bank – just as we had in April 2015 – to stop the cycle of poverty by financing fossil fuels. 

• Public Comment 137: September 2017 - In June 2017 in Public Comment 123 the New Progressive Alliance with other organizations backed the California Disclose ACT AB 14. This passed both houses and is now before the governor as AB 249. AB 249 significantly improves disclosures on ballot measure and independent expenditure ads, requiring their three largest funders to be shown clearly and unambiguously on television and print ads. Public Comment 137 as a letter signed by the New Progressive Alliance and other organizations went to Governor Brown urging him to sign.

• Public Comment 136: September 2017 - The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has a long record through both Democratic and Republican administrations of blindly approving and refusing to regulate energy companies. In Public Comment 136 the New Progressive Alliance joined with other organizations in a Congressional letter opposing FERC.
• Public Comment 135: September 2017 - The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has a long record through both Democratic and Republican administrations of blindly approving and refusing to regulate energy companies. In Public Comment 135 the New Progressive Alliance joins with other organizations in holding a rally at FERC’s first meeting since January 1017 on September 20, 2017.

• Public Comment 134: September 2017 - DRBC Stop Penn East Pipeline - The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) has enough information to deny the Penn East Pipeline and the New Progressive Alliance with other organizations encouraged the DRBC to do so.

• Public Comment 133: September 2017 - The New Progressive Alliance in September 2017 joined many other agencies and organizations in urging Congress to oppose ideological irrelevant riders which hide the true purpose of legislation.

• Public Comment 132: September 2017 - The New Progressive Alliance in September 2017 agreed with the Seattle Disability Commission which voted unanimously to recommend the city end the sub-minimum wage for disabled people.  There is no evidence that lowering the minimum wage increases hiring of handicapped people. In addition, disabled people frequently need more money to survive.

In 2012, the New Progressive Alliance (NPA) endorsed 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.
