Oakmont Progressives is an educational and social club that welcomes all Oakmonters. As Progressives, we stand for a government OF, BY and FOR the people instead of an oligarchy of billionaires.
As Progressives, we recognize that governments at most levels have been captured by large corporations and the wealthy. We argue that the power of the state should be used to protect the weak and disadvantaged from the depredations of the wealthy and large corporations. The natural operation of the capitalist system concentrates wealth and power into the hands of fewer and fewer people, and that tendency must be counterbalanced if we are to have a democracy that affords a decent life for all its people.
