Dear John, 

PRA would not be where it is today without you.

As part of PRA's community, you helped us grow from a five-person staff a decade ago to 28 staff members today, contributing four times as many dollars to inform the resistance against antidemocratic forces.

Thanks to you, PRA is generating more research, more movement strategy, more partnerships with a greater variety of frontline organizations, more educational programming, and more national media influence than ever before.

Having served as PRA's Executive Director since 2008, I know how much PRA means to you. While I have made the hard decision to end my tenure in 2024, I am proud our organization is stronger than ever, and I know PRA will continue to flourish under new leadership.

In this period of transition, I am asking you to make a bold gift to support PRA's critical work and ensure we don't lose any momentum. 



Will you help me raise $1 million before I leave? Every contribution makes a difference.  

“Political Research Associates with its sober analysis has been a critical partner in making sense of the forces standing in the way of realizing a multi-racial feminist democracy and economy. We cannot win without being clear-eyed about who we are up against.” 

- Lauren Jacobs, Executive Director of PowerSwitch Action

PRA is unwavering in our commitment to resourcing movements with our groundbreaking research and analysis, even—and especially—in the midst of leadership change. 

As antidemocratic groups continue to mobilize, especially in preparation for the 2024 elections, we have launched a new podcast, ‘Inform Your Resistance,’ and created a new strategic partnerships unit to leverage PRA’s research, communications, and strategic advising capacities for maximum impact. Read our annual report at our website to learn more about how PRA has been making a difference with your support this year.

Thank you again for resourcing PRA into the powerhouse of research and analysis that we are today. It’s been an honor to lead this organization with your support and I hope you are able to join me at my going-away celebration in December.

Until then, thank you for your commitment to block the further capture of power by antidemocratic forces and to transform our society into a truly just and inclusive democracy.

In solidarity,

Tarso Luís Ramos

Executive Director
