Progressive Alliance: a Network of Progressive Forces for the 21st Century

The progressive, democratic, social-democratic, socialist and labour movement is based on a common commitment to human rights and the joint pursuit of freedom, justice, social equality, including gender equality, sustainability and international solidarity. [..]

The Progressive Alliance is funded by voluntary contributions. The values of democracy, gender equality, justice and solidarity we advocate are the basic operational principles inside of the Progressive Alliance.
Parallel and complementary to other associations operating at an international level, the Progressive Alliance builds on existing and evolving networks and forums.
For global political challenges like strengthening the social dimension of globalisation and sustainable progress, combating climate change, strengthening human rights, including women’s rights, and democracy, as well as peace and security, the Progressive Alliance is the platform for formulating common, progressive answers.

Progressive Alliance: Activities

Conference of the Progressive Alliance: The Progressive Alliance stages an annual international conference . The conferences focus on progressive forces finding common answers to prevailing global political problems.

Cooperation on Campaigning: The Progressive Alliance focus on building-up the capacity for campaigns and the organisational integrity of political parties. This needs to happen in the developed and the developing world. The International Progressive Campaign Forum gives progressive political parties opportunities to discuss shared electoral challenges and successful campaigns. The International Progressive Campaign Forum will be continued in cooperation with the Progressive Alliance.

Cooperation of Progressive Parliamentarians: The Conference of Progressive Parliamentary Leaders brings together progressive politicians from across the world to start discussing shared policy challenges and to foster international cooperation. The Conference of Progressive Parliamentary Leaders will be continued in cooperation with the Progressive Alliance.

Cooperation on Key Topical Issues: Key topical issues are the questions of a new global deal between capital and labour and the implementation of frameworks which ensure equal opportunities for all members of society, especially with regards to gender equality. This important discussion centres on the concept of shared prosperity, how we can make the relationship between capital and labour, but also between the oftentimes female unpaid and male paid forms of employment more balanced, and how to secure basic workers’ rights and decent work for all. The work on A New Global Deal between Capital and Labour will be continued in cooperation with the Progressive Alliance.

Cooperation with Regional Networks: The Progressive Alliance aims to cooperate with existing regional networks in Asia, Africa, the Middle-East, Europe, Latin America and North-America.

International Campaigns: For interested parties a joint international campaign can be agreed upon for the coming year. The campaigns can be staged in conjunction with other progressive social forces, trade unions, foundations and NGOs.

Further activities: Activities of the Progressive Alliance concerning youth’s and women’s issues are also planned.
