New Ad Campaign: �Progressive. And Proud Of It.�

The Center for American Progress, in conjunction with the Glaser Progress Foundation, recently launched a multi-year effort to increase public understanding of what it means to be a progressive given our nation�s history and the challenges we face today.

The first part of the campaign involves a pilot experiment to begin defining progressivism in the public�s mind through a series of distinct advertisements that explain the progressive movement�s core values and policy ideas, its historical accomplishments, and its philosophical differences with conservatives.

Progressive reformers in the 20th century paved the way for a more humane society that ensured decent working conditions; fought corporate abuse and corruption; provided support for the elderly and unemployed; protected our natural resources; and expanded democratic opportunities for all citizens. Our ad campaign is a first attempt at bringing these progressive values and accomplishments to light for modern audiences.

We are just completing a three-week run of four ads in the Columbus, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis media markets. We look forward to hearing ideas from readers of Think Progress and other progressive blogs � let us know what you think:

I particularly like the two that are a take-off on those great Apple ads.

6. I like the ones with the two guys, best.

It's sort of a take off that Joe Conservative essay.

People have been so brain washed to beleive that liberal, & it's lesser descriptive, progressive, are bad. We need to take back these words & re-educate people as to what these values really stand for.
