Progressivism Page
A progressive individual is defined as someone who is
committed to making the world a better place for everyone.

“A progressive believes that society can be made better, that it can be made better by informed
people acting in concert, and that it can be called 'better' only when it is better for everyone.”
— Garret Keizer

The 'Occupy' Movement

In a suspiciously-coordinated strategy, many of the peaceful camps were forced to shut down on the night of
November 14th. The Occupy Movement rallied against the fascist onslaught, with all-day demonstrations in cities
across America on November 17th.

Meanwhile, the 99% March on Washington began November 10th, with 50 stalwart men & women leaving Zuccotti Park
for the 230-mile trek to Washington, DC. The greatly-enlarged force arrived in DC on Tuesday November 22nd.
