Progressive policies in times of crisis

The Corona-crisis hits the entire globe and needs progressive political answers. Social-democrats, socialists and Progressives are at the forefront in fighting the health, economic and social consequences of this unprecedent crisis. There is space for a progressive momentum and need for progressive multilateralism.
We have invited members and personalities to contribute to the debate through articles to offer as Progressive Alliance an international platform.
