The internet is full of opinions.
Our vision is to become the definitive source for understanding what the people and organizations shaping modern progressive thought are actually saying—and why it matters.
Think of this site as a living, constantly updated encyclopedia of modern progressive thought: a place where elected officials, policy experts, historians, economists, legal analysts, advocacy organizations, and commentators can be heard in their own words.
New content is added daily from the thought leaders, organizations, and experts featured on ProgressiveNorthstar, creating a living record of the ideas and conversations shaping modern progressivism.
We believe people are best understood by what they actually say, not by what others say about them.
We believe science should help guide public policy. We believe individual rights and freedoms matter. We believe a society is strongest when everyone has the opportunity to succeed. We believe diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives makes our communities stronger. And we believe prosperity should be broadly shared, not concentrated among a fortunate few.
America is at its best when we expand opportunity, strengthen democratic institutions, invest in our communities, and respect the dignity of every person.
We’ll recognize leaders and organizations when they advance these principles. We’ll hold them accountable when they fall short. We’ll celebrate good ideas regardless of who proposes them, and we’ll call out hypocrisy, misinformation, and poor decisions regardless of who makes them.
Facts matter. Evidence matters. Accountability matters. Diversity Matters.
Our goal is simple: to help people better understand the ideas, policies, and voices shaping the future of our country.
Welcome to ProgressiveNorthstar.
