Voices for Progress members believe that that all people should have the opportunity to provide a good life for themselves and their families through hard work, be treated with dignity and protected from discrimination, and pass the world on to future generations safer and better than it is today.

We support:

Creating Jobs and Investing in America’s Future
Investing in infrastructure, green jobs, and education that will create jobs and opportunity, and build America’s strength.

Closing Tax Loopholes and Asking the Wealthier to Pay Their Fair Share
Reducing the deficit through a mix of economic growth and fair taxation in which those of us who have benefitted the most from the opportunities our country provides return to paying a greater share of our income or inheritance than others.

Strengthening America’s Safety Net
Ensuring all Americans have guaranteed access to adequate food, shelter, social services, and security.

Protecting Reproductive Freedom
Ensuring women – not politicians – have the right to make decisions about their reproductive health.

Improving Education and Opportunity

Protecting Civil and Human Rights
Prohibiting racial, gender, religious, national origin, sexual orientation, and disability discrimination.  We support comprehensive immigration reform that provides a path to citizenship.

Ensuring All Americans Have Access to Quality and Affordable Health Care
