Did you know that Political Research Associates does more than just research?

PRA has been publishing factual, thoroughly researched analysis on the U.S. and global Right for over forty years; but you may be wondering: what happens with this analysis once it’s traveled through our rigorous fact-checking, peer review, editorial and publishing processes?

Since its inception, PRA has maintained close relationships within the social justice movement to inform movement strategy with discerning analysis of right-wing strategy and organizing. These relationships include progressive and left funders who are resourcing the movement. And we engage in active press outreach to provide expert commentary and background analysis for journalists and media outlets.

Dive into PRA’s strategy for working towards building a just and inclusive democracy by visiting politicalresearch.org/strategy: a new webspace to discover PRA research in action.

Explore the resources and conversations equipping our partners with the tools they need to block oppressive movements.
