The Progressive platform focused on the following areas:
-
Women’s suffrage - Advocating for women's right to vote was a significant aspect of the Progressive movement.
-
Safer working conditions - Progressives aimed to improve labor laws and working conditions, pushing for regulations to ensure worker safety.
-
Social welfare assistance - There was a strong emphasis on providing support for the needy, including better access to education, healthcare, and public assistance programs.
These areas were central to the Progressive reform efforts in the early 20th century.
