At Progressive Dane's General Membership meeting on Wednesday, April 28, 2008, four local issues were unanimously voted on as priorities Progressive Dane will concentrate current efforts.
In no particular order, these issues are:
Immigration & Deportation (Lead: Public Safety Task Force)
Homelessness (Lead: Housing Task Force)
Economic Development (Lead: Economic Issues Task Force)
Madison Metro Services (Lead: Transportation Task Force)
As we often do, in addition to researching these issues and following what is transpiring at the city and county level, Progressive Dane task forces have already begun to ally activists and community organizations to find solutions that work for all and to amplify the voices of those most affected, for those voices are often not heard.
Go to http://www.prodane.org/projects/ to read about what the task forces are doing and how you can get involved.

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.
