Mission Statement of the Independent Progressive Political Action Clubs of America
The Independent Progressive Political Action Clubs of America (IPPACA) seeks to continue the tradition of forward-looking progressive politics in the United States, as exemplified by the Progressive Party of Henry Wallace, who ran for President in 1948, and the American Labor Party (ALP).
The IPPACA is not a political party, but rather a legislative and electoral formation that works with candidates from different political parties, as well as independent candidates.
The IPPACA seeks to work as a political force outside of the Democratic and Republican parties, the two Big Business parties of the United States.
The IPPACA consists of local clubs around the country uniting around candidates based on opposition to war, racism, and repression, as well as support for labor.
The IPPACA opposes repressive legislation, including legislation that attacks constitutional liberties, such as the right to free speech and the right to protest.
The IPPACA supports and promotes candidates on local, state, and national levels.
