Progressive Portal provides opportunities for effective, easy grassroots activism on a range of progressive issues. It is designed to remove the obstacles to increased activism that many busy people face, without compromising impact.

Progressive Portal is independent -- not part of any particular organization, party, or grouping -- although specific campaigns are often conducted in conjunction with leading grassroots organizations. The site is supported by users through donations and Day Sponsor monthly pledges.

Progressive Portal became active on May 15, 2001.

 
Who We Are

Progressive Portal is made possible by a growing cadre of volunteers.
We couldn't have done it without the magnificent people listed below!


Within each section, names are in first-name alphabetical order.


Note: While the people listed have been immensely helpful, I have not always followed their advice.

lame the Webweaver for any problems with the final product.
