They aim to influence major policy and political debates, and they do that by running advocacy campaigns that combine deeply researched policy with incisive political analysis. They design their work to be persuasive to elected officials, candidates, the media and other influencers. In a time of polarization and populism. Their agenda centers on: economic growth and opportunity, progress on social issues, deep decarbonization to battle climate change, an approach to national security that is both tough and smart, and electoral reforms that empower the middle.
