The Progressive Party is one of the three main contemporary political parties in the United States alongside the Republican Party and the America First Party. The party's platform is centered on progressive social and economic policies, including affordable housing, environmental awareness, workers' rights, and racial and gender equity. The party also advocates for increased government intervention in the economy, including higher taxes on the wealthy, the creation of a federal jobs guarantee, and the establishment of a public banking system.
