The Center for American Progress Action Fund is a progressive think-tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action. They are creating a long-term, progressive vision for America—a vision that policy makers, thought-leaders and activists can use to shape the national debate and pass laws that make a difference.
Their mission is to transform progressive ideas into policy through rapid response communications, legislative action, grassroots organising and advocacy, and partnerships with other progressive leaders throughout the country and the world.
To realise their vision they aim to:
- build an opportunity nation where every hard-working person, regardless of background, can realise their dreams through education, decent work and fair play
- reawaken America’s conscience, their sense of shared and personal responsibility, to build healthy, vibrant communities
- reform government so that it is of, by and for the people: open, effective, and committed to the common good
- use America’s strength to bring the world together, not pull it apart
