Congressional Progressive Caucus
[CPC]Left to far-left Democrats. Emerging from the presidential campaigns of Bernie Sanders and grassroots social movements, Progressives seek a radical restructuring of American institutions. Economically, they advocate democratic egalitarianism, calling for a Green New Deal, universal single-payer healthcare, progressive wealth taxation, student debt cancellation, and extensive public oversight or regulation of critical industries. Culturally, they champion an intersectional civil rights agenda that includes systemic criminal justice reform, amnesty for undocumented immigrants, and expansive protections for marginalized groups. On foreign policy, Progressives adhere to an anti-imperialist and non-interventionist doctrine, favoring significant defense budget reductions, with opposition to Israeli policy being a central focus.
