This week was the biggest week ever for Data for Progress. We rolled out a new website with our fellows program and a new report on how Medicaid Expansion ([link removed]) affects turnout. We worked with Ayanna Pressley on her Justice Guarantee ([link removed]) and worked with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to study the jobs and emissions reduction ([link removed]) from their Green New Deal for Public Housing. The Atlantic used our work to ([link removed]) show how the Green New Deal is winning. In The Hill, we showed that aggressive action ([link removed]) to take on big pharma has broad public support. And to top it off, we showed what a Democratic
President could do through executive actions to fight climate change ([link removed]) through the executive branch, and that an executive order agenda has broad support.
Most importantly, we changed the conversation about what’s possible through a Green New Deal.

Covering the new AOC and Sanders Green New Deal legislation, the Washington Post said ([link removed]) “The bill would cost between $119 billion and $172 billion over the next decade, according to estimates developed by Data for Progress, a progressive think tank. It would create up to 240,723 jobs a year, the group estimated.” We’re making the media cover the Green New Deal on our terms, not letting Fox News drive the narrative.

Our work was covered in Vox, ([link removed]) Mother Jones, ([link removed]) Huffpost ([link removed]) and a wide range of other publications.

Using our data, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders introduced the Public Housing Green New Deal Act ([link removed]) for the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) and the nation. Data for Progress led policy and public opinion research to develop this legislation. We want to expand our capacity to do this work, and would love your support ([link removed]) so that we can continue similar research moving forward. Even better, if you would become asustaining donor ([link removed]) , we can we can have a sustainable resource base to help progressive politicians change the narrative about their legislation. We work hard to deliver narrative change at a low cost.

Why support Data for Progress? Because the media shapes public opinion around progressive ideas, and we’re not investing nearly enough in the space. After all, it was ultimately a media narrative about e-mails ([link removed]) that did the most to harm Democrats in the 2016 election. That’s why Data for Progress invests in tools that change the way our policies are being covered. But we need to do more. Take this piece ([link removed]) in the New York Times on wealth taxes. It might as well be a press release written by the billionaire class. Over the next several months we’ll be expanding our polling and economic modelling capacity to further change the narrative. It’s a space that progressives haven’t invested in enough. And we’re proud to be leading.
