The mission of the Humboldt Progressive Democrats (from our approved bylaws): The Club shall focus its efforts within the County of Humboldt to work toward restoration of citizen ownership of our democracy by mobilizing grassroots participation in the political process; to support candidates and issues through a combination of education, community organizing, and direct action at the local, state, and national levels; to hold elected officials accountable to the electorate; and to promote progressive policies; to advance the goals of the Democratic Party (hereinafter called the Party), through coordination with other Democratic groups, and other activities to benefit the Party.

Progressive policies include, but are not limited to single-payer health care, tuition-free public college, human and civil rights for all under the law, Green New Deal and climate justice, fair trade, worker rights to organize and collectively bargain, abolition of the death penalty, and promoting fairness, peace, justice and sustainability within our community, our state, our country, and the world.

Our vision is a free, open, transparent election process where electeds, candidates, and legislation can focus on achieving what the public needs and wants. We believe our progressive agenda will only be advanced by getting big money out of politics - therefore Humboldt Progressive Democrats supports progressive legislation and candidates currently free from corporate donations.
