Progressive International
The Progressive International is an international organization uniting progressive left-wing activists and organizations. The International labels itself as aiming for a post-capitalist society. Its main proponents are Bernie Sanders and Yanis Varoufakis and it was launched by The Sanders Institute and DiEM25. Varoufakis, a co-founder of DiEM25, said in an op-ed that the Progressive International is created "to mobilize people around the world to transform the global order and the institutions that shape it". The Progressive International was announced on 30 November 2018 at a Sanders Institute event attended by progressive politicians, economists and activists including Naomi Klein, Cornel West, Fernando Haddad, Niki Ashton and Ada Colau. It was formally founded and launched on 11 May 2020 amidst the global Coronavirus pandemic to counter the perceived resurgence of nationalism.
Some of the project's promotional videos were produced by Means TV, the studio behind the campaign ad for American Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
