A Progressive's Toolbox

The six progressive principles

In a previous post, I shared a statement of progressive beliefs. In addition, I shared what I believe, from these beliefs, are the five pillars of progressive action. In this post, I continue this project in sharing six key principles, based on these beliefs and pillars, that I believe progressive leaders - including institutional leaders, but especially government leaders - should follow to promote and maintain a more progressive society.

These principles are

1. Respect everyone equally, treat all equitably.
2. Promote and protect the common good.
3. Prioritize public over private interest.
4. Maintain focus on sustaining the common good.
5. View the Constitution as a living framework for accountability.
6. Cultivate an informed and engaged citizenry.
