The Unified Platform: A Certified Hit!!
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!

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, Progressive Perspectives, Washington Best Democracy, "People, Planet, Peace" and "Progressives, Real Greens, and Socialists of Colorado." Because of problems with privacy and censorship on Facebook, we also publish on Twitter under the New Progressive Alliance. Connections to all of our allies may be found here.

These two articles show there is a clear threat to our oceans which is a basis for life.
-
In July we published “Journalists Abandoned Julian Assange and Slit Their Own Throats - The failure by journalists to mount a campaign to free Julian Assange, or expose the vicious smear campaign against him, is one more catastrophic and self-defeating blunder by the news media.” This is a shameful failure by Biden and the mainstream news media.

- In July we published “The Democratic Party’s Crucifixion of Matt Taibbi - Extensive government blacklists, revealed by the Twitter Files, are used to censor left-wing and right-wing critics.

There remains censorship against anything opposing the status quo at Facebook and YouTube.

-
In June we published “Why scientists are using the word scary over the climate crisis.” We should be scared as well.
-
In June we published “Canadian Government Ad™: Cleaning up the Oil Sands.” Canada also struggles with a government that only pretends to defend the environment.

-
In June we published “Thousands forced to evacuate as wildfires ravage western Canada.” This is happening worldwide, but the media is amazingly silent.
