PRESS RELEASE
The United Progressive Party (UPP), under the leadership of Joshua Francis, extends warmest compliments of the season to all citizens and residents of the Commonwealth of Dominica, both at home and abroad.
As we gather with family and loved ones during this festive period, the United Progressive Party reaffirms the profound meaning embedded in our logo and our mission: Together for Progress. These words are not merely a slogan, but a solemn commitment to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with every Dominican as we navigate the life transitions in these challenging times.
The UPP recognizes that many of our fellow citizens are facing significant hardships in our current cash-strapped society. Families are struggling to make ends meet, businesses are grappling with economic uncertainty, and too many Dominicans are being forced to make difficult choices between necessities. We see you, we hear you, and we stand with you.
“The challenges we face today demand more than temporary solutions—they require fundamental changes in how our island nation is governed,” stated Joshua Francis, President of the United Progressive Party. “Our people deserve leadership that prioritizes their wellbeing, creates genuine economic opportunities, and builds a foundation for lasting prosperity. This is the change we are committed to bringing about, together.”
The United Progressive Party remains hopeful and determined as we look toward a brighter future for all Dominicans. True progress can only be achieved when we band together—when government works for the people, when communities support one another, and when every voice is heard and valued. The road ahead requires collective effort, shared sacrifice, and unified purpose, but the destination—a prosperous, equitable, and thriving Dominica—is worth every step of the journey.
As we celebrate this season of hope, renewal, and togetherness, let us remember that our strength lies in our unity. Let us commit ourselves to the necessary changes that will transform our governance and create opportunities for every Dominican to flourish.
From the entire organization of the United Progressive Party, we wish you and your families a Merry Christmas filled with joy, peace, and love, and a bright and prosperous 2026.
May the New Year bring renewed hope, meaningful progress, and abundant blessings to our beloved Commonwealth of Dominica.
Together for Progress.
