The group was founded by Winnipeggers who opposed the mayoralty of Sam Katz. The group's founding goals were to bring progressive ideas into municipal politics and to engage more people on municipal issues. Issues concerning the coalition included community-centre funding, programs for aboriginal youth, rapid transit, and urban planning. Organizing grassroots activists is also a goal of the coalition.
