The Utah Democratic Progressive Caucus
Our Mission:
The members of the Progressive Caucus of the Democratic Party of Utah envision a future that includes a thriving ecosystem, equality and justice for all individuals, a society free of violence and poverty, and robust community based economies built on diversity and sustainability. We envision a sympathetic government representative of the diversity of its citizens which addresses human need. We seek a government that is open and responsive, and free of corruption from special interests and corporate greed.It is our purpose, through grassroots efforts, to create the political foundation that is required to enact laws that will allow us to structure and achieve this vision. It is our mission to create the network necessary to identify, foster, and elect candidates so that we may have a voice in creating the political agenda and passing laws at all levels of government.We will seek to create an inclusive political environment, reaching out to all people, by presenting our mainstream values. We will embrace our values and conduct ourselves within the context of those values in all of our endeavors.
