The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is a group within the United States Congress that advocates for progressive policies. Founded in 1991, it aims to promote social and economic justice, environmental sustainability, and healthcare for all. Members of the CPC typically support legislation that addresses issues like income inequality, climate change, and workers' rights.
The caucus consists of Democratic members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It serves as a platform for like-minded lawmakers to collaborate on initiatives and push for reforms that align with their progressive values. Notable members have included figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
