?A progressive is someone who understands that we (as individuals and as a species) are one part of planetary ecosystem that includes other animals, plants, minerals, insects, the land, the waters and the air. A progressive understands that each aspect of our planetary system must be cared for and protected in order the whole to thrive. A progressive strives to work cooperatively rather than competitively. A progressive understands peace will only come with justice; that a well-fed, well-housed, well-educated population will bring the best possible outcome for every person and every other part of our precious planet.
