SUPPORT OUR MISSION: Real change on Sanibel and Captiva Islands starts with the support of our community. As a grassroots social and political action organization, Progressives of the Islands relies entirely on the generosity of members and supporters like you. Your contribution directly fuels our efforts to educate the electorate, advocate for progressive solutions, and support candidates who share our values.
Why Your Gift Matters
Every dollar you donate stays local and is put to work immediately. Your financial support enables us to:
•Host Educational Events: Bring expert speakers, policy analysts, and community leaders to our monthly meetings to discuss the pressing issues facing Southwest Florida.
•Drive Voter Engagement: Fund our voter registration drives, Vote-by-Mail outreach, and Get Out The Vote (GOTV) campaigns to ensure every progressive voice is heard at the ballot box.
•Amplify Our Message: Provide the resources needed for community rallies, advocacy materials, and our partnerships with organizations like Indivisible and Signs of Justice.
•Support Progressive Candidates: Help us identify, endorse, and rally behind local and state candidates who are committed to environmental stewardship, social justice, and inclusive governance.
