The Progressive Synergy Project proposes to develop a model governance structure for cross-issue coordination, based on some of the progressive movement’s most successful collaborative efforts: the Partnership Project, the Forest Stewardship Council, and America Votes. This governance structure will provide a foundation for effective interaction between electorally-oriented progressive groups, creating a space for the strategic integration of resources and more effective messaging in order to win elections. The Progressive Synergy Network model aims to enhance the effectiveness of the growing progressive political movement by setting a strict standard for assessing the capacity of its member organizations, while encouraging the kind of collaboration that is necessary for long-term political relevance and victory. It integrates the emergence of new funding models, intelligent branding strategies, and democratic decision-making into a model that incorporates methodologies that have already proven successful in other sectors.
