Hard times call for good friends with a plan. This year, #PGS22 is gathering leading political actors in Berlin to debate and strategise which (and how) progressive alliances can deliver on the promise of progress. Together, we will work on how campaigns, narratives, and policies can build the capacity for progressives to govern at the local to the international level. Our mission of bringing progressives together to discuss how to overcome the main challenges of the day through progress is more important than ever.
