It is with great pleasure that we welcome sister parties, associate members, and guests to the Progressive Alliance Global Convention on 5–6 October 2024 in Santiago, Chile. We are honoured that our hosts are the Socialist Party of Chile (PS) and the Party for Democracy Chile (PPD), currently part of the progressive government of President Gabriel Boric, whose long tradition and leadership in authoritarian resistance, the struggle for social justice, and international solidarity have inspired us to hold the biggest event of the year for our political family in Chile.

Esteban Paulón, Coordinator of the Progressive Alliance of the Americas, also shares his message, inviting all progressive leaders to Santiago for this crucial event: Watch the video here.
At the Convention, we will open our strategic discussions with the leaders of our political movement from around the world on the most consequential issues of our time: protecting democracy, fostering economic and social progress, solving climate change, securing peace, and promoting gender equality. Together, we will direct the international programme of the Progressive Alliance that requires coordinated, coherent, and future-proof global solutions to persistent problems.
At the Convention, we will strengthen existing cooperation and forge new ones to unite our movement towards realising our agenda for transformation that guards against the undermining of our values, the erosion of trust, and increasing polarisation. As we position ourselves to influence the creation of alternatives for a progressive 21st century, we will strengthen our leadership and revitalise our global network.
The Global Convention will carry out the critical tasks of advancing programmatic responses, renewing solidarities, strengthening the Progressive Alliance’s institutional capacity, and electing its new leadership.
