What we’re about
[Looking for financial benefactor to keep meetings going!] Please message QuestionerLogic if you want to help :)
Progressives of the SF Bay Area is a group for progressives to find kindred spirits. “Progressive” spans the entire spectrum of philosophy on the left for folks who care about the world, value diversity, and want to make a difference. If you are interested in politics, issues of peace and social justice, sustainable living and energy, the environment, animal advocacy, LGBTQ+, women, trans rights (and bodily autonomy), and other issues, this group can be a home for you. We are about living our beliefs while having fun and spending time with interesting people.
This is not a meeting space to "test" ideas that are right-wing or fascist. While we encourage constructive criticism, we do not provide meeting space to those that support coup-attemping presidents, make passionate defences of Russian oligarchs, false equivalency with fascists, or support policies and laws against minoritized populations, women, and people of color.
Our activities range from purely political to purely social and every combination in between. Each month, the group holds Progressive Talk meetings to discuss the latest political issues and news stories. There are also meetups to explore and learn about progressive issues (through activities like lectures and film screenings), to do some political activism (with specific issues or elections), and to enjoy life (with things such as concerts, hikes, and many more).
All members are welcome to suggest events for this group, which can become official meetups once at least three people RSVP for the event. We only ask that the event has a specific date, time, and location; identifies a host for the event (yourself or another member of this group); and not involve any business or commercial activity benefiting the event host.
Whether you're at the center, moderately left of center, or even far left on the political spectrum, Progressives of the SF Bay Area is a group that provides a mix of intellectual stimulation and exciting fun for the liberal and progressive mind.
