The Progressive Alliance is a major American political party founded in 2037 during the Great Transition Era. Born from the convergence of climate activists, social justice advocates, and democratic socialists, the party emerged as a response to the climate catastrophes of the late 2020s and the need for systemic change in American society.

History

Formation (2037)

The Progressive Alliance was formed in 2037 when the Climate Justice Coalition merged with the Democratic Socialist Movement and several regional environmental groups. The catalyst was the inadequate federal response to the Great Migration of climate refugees, which had overwhelmed traditional social services and highlighted systemic inequalities.

The party's founding convention was held in New Denver, a city built specifically to house climate refugees from the Eastern Seaboard. Over 50,000 delegates attended, representing displaced communities, environmental scientists, labor unions, and social justice organizations.

Early Years (2037-2045)

Initially dismissed as a "crisis party" by political establishment, the Progressive Alliance gained rapid support as climate impacts worsened. Their early platform focused on:

• Emergency climate adaptation funding
• Rights for climate refugees
• Universal Basic Resources pilot programs
• Green infrastructure development

By 2040, they had elected their first senators and were a major force in climate refugee states.

Mainstream Acceptance (2045-2060)

As climate adaptation became a permanent feature of American life, Progressive Alliance policies moved from radical to practical. Their advocacy for AI-assisted governance and post-scarcity economics gained traction during the Resource Revolution of the 2060s.

The party played a crucial role in passing the Universal Basic Resources Amendment in 2066 and establishing the Climate Victory Declaration framework.

Modern Era (2060-2080)

Today, the Progressive Alliance is one of the five major parties in American politics, particularly strong in climate refuge cities, former coastal areas, and regions with high AI integration.
