About us
The Center for American Progress is a think tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action. We combine bold policy ideas with a modern communications platform to help shape the national debate, expose the hollowness of conservative governing philosophy, and challenge the media to cover the issues that truly matter. Our work builds upon progressive ideals put forth by such leaders as Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, and Martin Luther King. We draw from the great social movements of the 20th century—from labor rights and worker safety, to civil rights and women's suffrage. We translate those values into new ideas and action firmly rooted in the economic and political realities of the 21st century.

A new analysis I authored at Center for American Progress finds that 123 members of the 118th Congress outrightly deny the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change. While millions of Americans face record-breaking temperatures, these members are prioritizing profits for Big Oil over policies that are crucial for combating climate change. We need to hold elected officials accountable for their actions obstructing meaningful climate action at the expense of the American people.

The authoritarian playbook, Project 2025, contains a set of abysmal right-wing and anti-democratic policy proposals that would gut our system of checks and balances to consolidate power in the president, strip Americans on their freedoms, and raise costs on the middle class..

Today, the Biden administration approved the cancellation of $1.2 billion in student loan debt for 35,000 borrowers who work in public service as nurses, teachers, first responders, and law enforcement officers. To date, 4.76 million borrowers have received an average of more than $35,000 in debt relief since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021. In response, Stephanie Hall, senior director for Higher Education Policy at CAP, issued the following statement: https://lnkd.in/ejVBUsaG

It should go without saying that children don’t belong in dangerous factories and shouldn’t be handling toxic substances. A new report from Veronica Goodman reveals how far-right extremists behind Project 2025 want to take us back nearly 100 years to the dark time of child labor. https://lnkd.in/eegFcF4k

Currently, 21 states have passed a wide range of abortion-related restrictions. The most severe of these restrictions seek to criminalize medical providers who are providing necessary abortion care. Far-right radicals don’t plan to stop there. To enforce a full abortion ban, the authors of Project 2025 are threatening local district attorneys with legal action, including removal from office, federal lawsuits, and other punitive actions if they choose not to prosecute abortion bans to the satisfaction of right-wing officials. https://lnkd.in/ep3xZx2K
