At the November 2006 GMM, the Progressive Dane general membership voted on and approved an updated City Platform, the complete text of which can be found here.
The platform was changed to reflect growing concerns about water quality, responsible energy use, accessible public transportation, continued zoning and TIF considerations, and to reflect an overall dissatisfaction with the potential loss of domestic partnerships due to the recently passed marriage amendment to the Wisconsin constitution.
The general membership sought to use language that functions to both address specific issues within the Madison community and to encapsulate a broader progressive philosophy. Progressive Dane updates, by general membership vote, their City platform every two years.

We, the members of Progressive Dane, join together to form an independent political party in Dane County with a major focus on local issues. We pledge to work to improve the quality of life in Dane County for all people, particularly those marginalized by economic and social discrimination. We will work to improve our local government by making it open, easier to understand, and accessible for all citizens of Dane County. We are working to achieve positive policy change by electing accountable progressive officials and mobilizing citizen action.
