Progressive Newton is a chapter of Progressive Massachusetts, a statewide, diverse grassroots organization mobilizing around progressive issues, and helping to elect and support committed progressive candidates for public office.
If you’re a progressive, and you live in Newton, Massachusetts, please join us! We are growing our membership and contact list to help make a difference in our home community and around the state.
Progressive Newton first began in 2013 when folks who had worked on the Obama, Warren, and Markey campaigns came together on a more permanent basis out of an interest to work not only on candidate races but also around progressive issues.
For a number of years, we actively worked as part of the Raise Up Mass coalition on winning the minimum wage, earned sick time, paid family and medical leave, the Fair Share Amendment, and driver’s licenses for undocumented residents. We also worked in coalition with other Newton groups working for more affordable housing and a fair contract for Newton’s school custodians.
