progressives
Left-leaning reform advocates
Progressives are people who favor social reform and government action to address inequality, environmental issues, and systemic injustice.
The term sits on the political left, often describing those who push the Democratic Party toward bolder positions on healthcare, climate, or labor rights: The progressives in Congress blocked the compromise bill.
Progressive as an adjective means favoring progress or reform, or happening gradually: progressive taxation, progressive muscle relaxation.
