A progressive cares about the well-being of their country- their entire country, from the little four-year-old girl living in poverty in Alabama to the president in office. We want to ensure legal equality and justice for all of our country's citizens, as well as a living wage and affordable healthcare. We want to protect the enviroment so our country's now and future citizens will have clean air and water.A progressive also cares about the state of the rest of the world, because they realize how interconnected all countries and peoples on earth are, especially in this global age. What we do in our nation now can affect the rest of the world for generations, so progressives try to ensure that out impacts are positive.
