Progressives Care About...

This is in response to questions 1 and 2: What do you want? What do you care about? One person responded:

I want for my family: No more war, a secure homeland, a stable economy, an excellent education, and excellent health care.

I want for my community: Peace, an end to poverty, equal opportunities, a healthy environment, children free from abuse, care for the mentally ill, and affordable health care.

I want for my world: Peace, an end to child slavery, equality for women, an end to poverty.

I care about: All of the above- and an end to divisiveness in this country. I am tired of the arguing every time a bill is even about to be introduced!

What Makes MAP Tick?

Here is one response to the second question of our survey. In a few days I'll start publishing entire survey responses (anonymously, unless I have permission from the authors)and begin to draw out common threads.

What do you care about?
1. Food encompasses so much.
Eating well in a way that respects the farmers and laborers (not
exposing them to toxins); in a way that nourishes the body (food is
made up of chemicals – keep them balanced); in a way that respects our
place in evolution (no GMOs); sustainably, so that we don’t consume
more rapidly than the earth can continue to provide (less meat).
2. Maintaining our habitat so that it is a place for our children to thrive
3. Meeting at least the basic needs of people in our country (food,
shelter, clean air, clean water, preventative health care, education)
