| The Center for American Progress is dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through progressive ideas and action. Building on the achievements of progressive pioneers such as Teddy Roosevelt and Martin Luther King, their work addresses 21st-century challenges such as energy, national security, economic growth and opportunity, immigration, education, and health care.
They develop new policy ideas, critique the policy that stems from conservative values, and challenge the media to cover the issues that truly matter and shape the national debate. Through dialogue with leaders, thinkers, and citizens, they explore the vital issues facing America and the world. They develop a point of view and take a stand. We then build on that and develop bold new ideas. Their progressive partners—including the CAP Action Fund—take their ideas to Congress and statehouses. |
