Margaret S. - Pepperell, MA

A progressive is a person who: -- looks beyond present-day ideologies and platitudes and understands that social and economic inequality are at the root of modern day ills,-- believes that for CEOs to make $97,000 an hour while one child dies every five seconds from malnutrition is not just,-- is aware that blatant disregard for our environment is not moral,-- knows that terrorism does not exist in a vacuum, but is the result of years of oppression and structural violence.More than all of this, a progressive believes that, while we have created all these problems, we have the power to find the solutions.
