Living the Promise

What does it mean to live a progressive life? Finding an answer does not mean prescribing a single style of life for everyone. Nobody has to conform to a progressive dress code or code of conduct. But finding an answer does offer an opportunity: to embrace a holistic approach to our beliefs, our politics, and our daily lives. Living a progressive life means consciously choosing our progressive principles and then using these principles to help guide our daily choices.

Principles are something we live every day in everything we do. They guide our daily life: how we raise our families and enrich our friendships, how we handle work and how we treat the people we work with, what we eat, where we make our purchases. Principles are not something extra to do, they are guiding ideas for how to do the ordinary things we already do.

Every person will find their own ways to apply the Promise in daily life. Offered here are just a few ideas on how it can be done.

At Home

We can live our principles at home to guide how we raise our families, what we eat, where we make our purchases.

Work and Community

We can live our principles at work and in the community to guide how we handle work and how we treat the people we work with.

Learn about living the Promise at home.

America's First Progressives

"That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity, namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."
—Constitution of Virginia, Bill of Rights, 1776
