The Center for American Progress is a progressive think-tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action.

We are creating a long-term, progressive vision for Americaa vision that policy makers, thought-leaders and activists can use to shape the national debate and pass laws that make a difference.

As progressives we believe that America should be a country of boundless opportunitywhere all people can better themselves through education, hard work, and the freedom to pursue their dreams. We believe this will only be achieved with an open and effective government that champions the common good over narrow self-interest, harnesses the strength of our diversity, and secures the rights and safety of its people.
