Progressives

Progressives refer to a political and social movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focused on addressing issues like inequality, corruption, and social justice. Advocates sought reforms in government, labor rights, education, and environmental protection, aiming to improve society for all citizens, especially marginalized groups. Progressivism emphasizes the need for active government intervention to promote social welfare and economic equity. Today, the term often relates to contemporary political ideologies that prioritize social change, sustainability, and inclusivity, challenging traditional norms and structures.
