A progressive believes that all life is sacred and integrates knowledge from the past and on going struggles from around the world. A progressive feels connected to struggles for indigenous existence and planetary health even while working to end poverty in cities. A progressive sees the links between injustice, wealth, nuclearism, militarism, oppression and hunger. The links also assure a progressive that we are all working together for liberation, and for the installation of new creative systems that respect the limits of our resources and share the earth for a peaceful, sustainable future. Progressives rely on articulate women who have researched humanity, such as the work of Jane Goodall, UN Messenger for Peace, Winona LaDuke, founder of the White Earth Land Recovery Project and the voice of Amy Goodman's independent media.
