And celebrate with us in style on December 14. Established 1981 40 years ago, in the aftermath of Ronald Reagan’s election and the rise of evangelical political action group the Moral Majority, activist and political scientist Jean Hardisty founded an organization that would become a backbone of social justice research, analysis, and strategy in the United States. Learn more about PRA's origin here. “One of the most important lessons I learned about organizing is that you have to build your strategy based on what is actually happening and not what you hope is happening. Our movement has been contending with a volatile and crisis-riddled historical conjuncture. 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. PRA has helped all of us know our enemies.”  Lauren Jacobs Executive Director of PowerSwitch Action, formerly Partnership for Working Families Support PRA's 40th Anniversary with an Ad or Sponsorship Today We Celebrate 40 Years 40 years of investigative research. 40 years of incisive analysis. 40 years of astute strategy. Visit PRA's new web experience: InformYourResistance.org for a look at how research becomes strategy and strategy becomes powerful resistance. We take a look at some key moments in which PRA's research was honed and deployed to effectively block the Right and empower social justice movements. From far-right law enforcement, to Dominionist Christians, to anti-trans feminists and beyond, PRA has a long history of providing strategic insights and actionable intelligence to block anti-democratic forces and build a more just and liberated world.
