The Squad

The Squad is a group of four progressive Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib—known for advocating for policies like healthcare reform, climate action, and social justice. They often challenge traditional party positions, emphasizing influence from grassroots and marginalized communities. The Squad has gained both support and criticism for their outspoken approaches and policy stances, becoming a prominent voice within the Democratic Party representing a more progressive shift.
