Building a trusted standard for progressive coalition building

Organizations aligned on core values make stronger coalitions. The Progressive Coalition Standard provides a clear framework for identifying compatible partners and building accountable movements.

Seven pillars

Core framework sections

Each section represents a commitment to progressive values

Democratic governance

Power belongs with the people, not concentrated elites

Systemic racism must be dismantled through intentional action

Equality

Gender justice

All genders deserve equal rights, safety, and opportunity

Solidarity

International solidarity

Oppressed peoples everywhere deserve support and liberation

Environmental justice

Communities must be protected from environmental harm and exploitation
