INTRODUCING: THE HYDE PARK PROJECT

A New Progressive Policy War Room

Washington, DC – John Podesta and the Center for American Progress Action Fund announced the launch of the Hyde Park Project – a new progressive policy war room that will feature the first-ever public policy rapid response blog of its kind.

Primarily through daily postings on The Wonk Room blog site (www.thinkprogress.org/wonkroom), the Hyde Park Project will focus on driving the ideological debate in four key policy issue areas: health care, economic mobility, national security, and climate change.

The daily mission of the project is a substantive, focused, and relentless effort in each of these areas:

Defining the Bush record on the four core policy areas

Critiquing the conservative approach

Promoting progressive policy solutions

Defending those progressive ideas from false attacks
