Global Progress Action

Global Progress Action seeks to safeguard democracy by bringing together like-minded progressive leaders to raise public knowledge on the most pressing public policy challenges of our time. To do so, we craft successful strategies and communication in civic spaces to support liberal democracy and progressive societies; make democracy deliver by developing policy solutions that bring real change to people’s lives; and revitalize democracy by empowering and fostering ideas for a new generation of leaders and policymakers.

In pursuit of this, Global Progress Action aims to educate the public and leaders on ideas that will:

• Build an economy for all by sparking innovation; invest in security at home by pushing institutions and political leaders to deliver effectively and efficiently; and enabling local communities to thrive in all parts of the United States and the world.
• Tackle the climate crisis and environmental injustices by creating more and better jobs through an agenda for clean energy, reindustrialization, and green infrastructure.
• Restore social trust in democracy by rooting out injustices, ending the cultural wars and shaping a new era of community, and ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to thrive.
• Renew the era of multilateralism and global collaboration to solve the world’s problems, uplift communities around the world, and protect and promote democracy.

Global Progress Action convenes leaders and experts from different countries to facilitate exchanges of best practices in strategy, policy ideation, and public engagement, thereby increasing public knowledge and shaping the international debate. We apply creative approaches to develop ideas for policymakers to bring about meaningful change in their home countries and engage with like-minded international institutions and think tanks to tackle climate change, build an economy for all, and restore social trust in democracy.

By cultivating a new generation of thought leaders and providing a space for vulnerability, empowerment, and growth, Global Progress Action makes a novel contribution to the future of the progressive movement.
