Progressive International (PI) is an international political organization that unites and mobilizes progressive left-wing activists and organizations.[1] The organization works with over 70 member groups.[2] This comprises trade unions, political parties, peasant organizations, and social movements including CodePink, Debt Collective,[3] Sunrise Movement,[4] and the Peace and Justice Project.[5]
It was launched after the Democracy in Europe Movement (DiEM25) and The Sanders Institute announced an open call for progressive forces to form a unified front.[6][7] Formally founded and launched on 11 May 2020, the International claims to counter what it calls the resurgence of authoritarian nationalism worldwide as well as the rise of disaster capitalism.[8] As its mission, the Progressive International aims to "unite, organize and mobilize the world's progressive forces".[9]
In October 2020, Progressive International said that it was "particularly concerned about the integrity of the presidential elections in Bolivia" and sent an observer group made up of Members of Parliament from around Europe to observe the election.[10]
Lewica Razem left Progressive International in March 2022 due what Razem claimed was "the absence of declaration recognising Ukraine’s sovereignty and an absolute condemnation of Russian imperialism".[11] The Ukrainian Commons journal also resigned from Progressive International.[12]
On 2 October 2020, Progressive International launched the Belmarsh Tribunal to convene groups of legal experts and Julian Assange supporters.[13] In the first year guests included Lula da Silva, Srećko Horvat, M.I.A. and Slavoj Žižek.[14] The hearings claimed that the charges against Assange were an "ongoing attack on press freedom".[15] The tribunal was modeled after the 1966 Russell-Sartre Tribunal, which investigated American involvement in the Vietnam War. In 2022, the third tribunal, which took place at the People’s Forum in New York City, coincided with the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.[16] Jeremy Corbyn and the Peace & Justice Project participated in the 4th Belmarsh Tribunal in Washington D.C. in 2023.[17]
