NPA News
The New Progressive Alliance is a 100-percent volunteer, educational organization dedicated to positively influencing public policy. Toward that end, we support the Unified Platform; participate in official public comment opportunities to regulatory agencies; and help people and organizations make their progressive case with Make your Case by using documentation which is continuously updated.

1. News:
Publishing here means showing a reference to an article. We publish in Facebook at the New Progressive Alliance, Leftist Third Party and Independent Candidates, Greens Discuss the Issues, Truth Bomb Activists, Washington Best Democracy, and "Progressives, Real Greens, and Socialists of Colorado." Because of problems with privacy and censorship on Facebook, we also publish on X, formerly Twitter, under the New Progressive Alliance. Connections to all of our allies may be found here.

In October we published the New Progressive Alliance article “Diminishing Transparency” with over 135 references.

In September we published “E-Fuels: A Costly Distraction in the Race to Zero Emissions” and the New Progressive Alliance article “Environmental Distractions and False Solutions.” These two references show how the fossil fuel industry continues to mislead about false green solutions that only enrich fossil fuel companies.

-
In September we published “Documents, Whistleblowers, and Public Comments Are Clear: Oil Companies Know Carbon Capture Is Not a Climate Solution“and the New Progressive Alliance article “Environmental Distractions and False Solutions” with many references. Both these references show with many examples how fossil fuel companies and governments use distractions and false solutions to avoid dealing with the pressing problem of climate change.
- In September we published “Heat aggravated by carbon pollution killed 50,000 in Europe last year – study. Continent is warming at much faster rate than other parts of world, leading to fires, drought and health problems.” There is a real cost for delaying dealing with climate change.
- In September we published “Democrats Weaponize Government Agencies Against Musk” and “Beware the Biden/Harris Administration.” These two references show if Trump wins in November it will be more a case of the democrats losing rather than the republicans winning.
-
In September we published “Honest Government Ad | Freedom of Information Laws.” Unfortunately the situation is very similar for whistleblowers and Freedom of Information Acts in the United States and United Kingdom as it is in Australia.
-
In September we published an interview with Chris Hedges in which he describes what is wrong with both candidates for President.

We need to evaluate who our real heroes are. We need to acknowledge those who reveal a crime are not worse criminals than those who commit a crime.
- In August we made Public Comment 246 in which we urged the FAA to approve SpaceX’s increased cadence for launches and landings at Boca Chica. The three reasons for approval are satisfied safety issues, national security concerns, and no negative environmental impact.
-
In August we published the NPA article “Cost of Environmental Destruction” with over 275 references and “Peering Inside the Pandora’s Box of Oil and Gas Waste.” There is a cost both monetarily and to humanity for environmental destruction.

2. United Nations:
United Nations: The New Progressive Alliance has been in special consultative status with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) Council since 2015. The NPA is a U.N. NGO (Non-Governmental Organization). If you would like to investigate participating with the New Progressive Alliance in UN activities with meetings or submitting papers, then just email us. See So You Want to Volunteer for the United Nations.
Candidates Who Support the Unified Platform
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.
