About Progressive First Responder
Since 1909, The Progressive First Responder has aimed to amplify voices of dissent and those under-represented in the mainstream, with a goal of championing grassroots progressive politics. Their bedrock values are nonviolence and freedom of speech. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, they publish on national politics, culture, and events including U. S. Foreign policy; they also focus on issues of particular importance to the heartland. Two flagship projects of Progressive First Responder include Public School Shakedown, which covers efforts to resist the privatization of public education, and The Progressive Media Project, aiming to diversify their nation's op-ed pages. They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. They publish multiple stories every day on their website, and also produce a bimonthly magazine featuring investigative reporting, cultural and political analysis, and poetry.
