The Progressive Columns provides the latest headlines from The Progressive Magazine. Founded in 1909 by Wisconsin Senator Robert La Follette as La Follette`s Weekly to be "a magazine of progress, social, intellectual, institutional." The mission of The Progressive is to be a journalistic voice for peace and social justice at home and abroad.
The magazine, its affiliates, and its staff steadfastly oppose militarism, the concentration of power in corporate hands, the disenfranchisement of the citizenry, poverty, and prejudice in all its guises. We champion peace, social and economic justice, civil rights, civil liberties, human rights, a preserved environment, and a reinvigorated democracy.
