Progressives understand both the past and the future: we honor those who went before, and continue their work--to inspire another generation. It's about living in balance with the world, it's about respect and dignity for everybody--not just the wealthy or powerful. Progressives aren't afraid to take a stand on volatile issues, and are willing to work for what we believe in. One of the most important things we believe is that the world is worth taking risks for. It's worth getting involved. Sometimes, the good guys really do win.
