Abundance is Progress’s policy wing

Treat 'abundance' as the policy‑focused subset of the broader 'progress' movement: abundance organizes around regulatory fixes, permitting, and federal policy in DC to enable rapid construction and deployment, while progress includes that plus culture, history, and high‑ambition technologies (longevity, nanotech). The distinction explains why similar actors show up in both conferences but prioritize different levers. — Framing abundance as the institutional arm of progress clarifies coalition strategy, explains partisan capture of the language, and helps reporters and policymakers anticipate which parts of the movement will push for law and which will push for culture and funding.
