Progressive Newton is a chapter of Progressive Massachusetts, a statewide, diverse grassroots organization mobilizing around progressive issues. Our primary mission is to advance Progressive Massachusetts’s state-level program; our current priorities are the three Raise Up Massachusetts campaigns (Paid Family Medical Leave, Fight for $15 minimum wage, and the Fair Share Amendment), the Safe Communities Act, and criminal justice reform. We also organize around local issues and, on occasion, support strong progressive candidates at the local level. If you’re a progressive, and you live in Newton, Massachusetts, join us!
