I am a New South Progressive.
In Georgia,

Progressive means progress.

If you aren’t making progress, you aren’t progressive.

#NewSouthProgressive
In the New South,

“Incrementalism” isn’t a dirty word.

“Pragmatism” isn’t a dirty word.

“Consensus” isn’t a dirty word.

#NewSouthProgressive
We don’t need lectures.

We don’t need “advice”, either.

We don’t need y’all praising Stacey Abrams in one breath and erasing all of the ground work she and black women have done here in the other.

#NewSouthProgressive
You don’t have to live in the South or be from the South to be a #NewSouthProgressive.

All you need is to be ready to take back a word that has been stolen from many of us by gatekeepers who are focused more on telling folks what we need to do than doing the work.
