Successful navigation requires, above all else, to know where you want to go. One of the things that drew me to Quincy Institute is its clear and resonant vision of a world where peace is the norm for the United States, and war the exception. 

This vision — unencumbered by partisanship, and strengthened by a commitment to rational analysis that is grounded in deep issue and area understanding — is what makes us different from so many other institutions in Washington.

When the events of the past year finally spurred Washington’s foreign policy elite to begin contemplating important questions — like how to bring Russia’s war in Ukraine to an end, what will come after the unipolar moment, or whether our dysfunctional global governance can be reformed — the QI team had already been wrestling with those questions for years. We already had answers and ideas to offer policymakers, the media, and the American people. 

Your support ensures the Quincy Institute remains steady and clear-sighted, offering a principled vision rooted in military restraint, diplomacy, and realism. 

Your support allows the Quincy Institute to provide solutions, rather than slogans.

While most of Washington is driven by fear-mongering and zero-sum thinking emanating from the military-industrial complex, the Quincy Institute continues to demonstrate that a different path is possible. With your help, we can continue to chart a better course for US foreign policy, while so many others counsel returning to old routes that have brought endless waste and ruin to our country and the world.

Thank you for joining us in this effort.
