Tennessee Alliance for Progress seeks to:

1. build strong and effective relationships and collaboration between diverse groups;
2. integrate a broad array of issues into a common progressive agenda;
3. develop the collective power of constituents to implement this common agenda;
4. increase the capacity of under-represented constituencies to have a greater impact on public policy and governance at the state level;
5. enhance the capacity of grassroots organizations to mobilize their members; and
6. develop new public leaders representing and accountable to disadvantaged constituencies.

These goals were voted on and approved by the Tennessee Alliance Board of Directors on July 13, 2003.
