Will you make a gift to support the Institute for Policy Studies? When you join with us, here’s what we accomplish together:
1. We level the playing field. Our reports on inequality helped win state taxes on millionaires, federal penalties for CEO pay inflation, and a corporate minimum tax — all to support real needs in our communities.
2. We set progressive movements up for success. Our state fact sheets on poverty — and how to end it — are in the hands of Poor People’s Campaign organizers knocking on doors in all 50 states. And our plan to close the racial wealth divide lays out a blueprint for movements at all levels of government.
3. We put people and the planet first. We’re anchoring coalitions to end fossil fuels, build more public transit, and stop the expansion of “carbon bomb” private jet facilities for billionaires.
4. We fight for human rights. Our experts have dramatically reshaped the public debate in favor of a ceasefire in Gaza. And we’re enlisting new allies in movements and public office every day.
5. We win the fight for hearts and minds. Our work’s been covered in the media over 3,000 times this year. And our syndicated op-eds — by experts, impacted folks, and young people — are on track to reach upwards of 100 million readers in red, blue, and purple communities alike.
6. We’re building the next generation of progressive leaders at home… We’ve trained over 100 diverse young progressives since 2013. They’ve become activists, teachers, fundraisers, communicators, and experts who work in Congress, the White House, and their own communities. (Meet a few of them in this video!)
7. And abroad. The progressive leaders of Brazil, Colombia, and Chile are all past winners of our Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Awards. And each year we help more brave international movements fundraise, connect, and survive.
When our movements play the long game, we win. Please join us! Your gift today keeps our movements strong, informed, and connected — for this generation and the next.
