White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain publicly shared this Washington Post article about the PCCC’s work and progressive influence in today’s Washington DC:

WASHINGTON POST: "The first two years of Joe Biden’s presidency, including many of its most notable successes, were shaped by the priorities and actions of progressives….

"This 'resulted in an agenda that 99 percent of the party could rally behind,' says Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

"When it came time to craft Biden’s biggest bills -- the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act…the Inflation Reduction Act -- progressives were allied with the administration against a few [corporate-aligned] defectors…"

When Stephanie Taylor and Adam Green founded the PCCC 14 years ago, the goal was to build progressive power -- by electing new heroes and working with them to govern boldly. Back then, our populist economic agenda was barely on the table. Now our issues are the mainstream.

We still have a lot of work to do this year -- beating back Republican attacks on progress while fighting for MORE on climate change, child care, taxing the rich, and fighting corporate price gougers. Can you chip in to keep our momentum going?

Over 14 years, PCCC members have donated over $35 million to help elect dozens of champions in Congress who were not there when we started: Elizabeth Warren, Raphael Warnock, John Ossoff, Tammy Baldwin, John Fetterman, Katie Porter, Pramila Jayapal, Mark Pocan, Ilhan Omar, Ro Khanna, Maxwell Frost, Greg Casar, Angie Craig, Summer Lee, and so many others.

Our training program has helped hundreds of new leaders now elected to school board, city council, state legislature, statewide office, and Congress.

And we’re a leader in governing. Elizabeth Warren says "personnel is policy." It matters who is in key decision-making roles in government.

The Washington Post elaborated:

"Just as important was the question of personnel. During the [Biden] transition, the [Progressive Change Institute] created a database of key executive branch positions and worked with other progressive groups to suggest nominees, many of whom were hired." The New York Times, ABC News, The Nation and others covered this work.

Our government relations arm P Street -- the progressive alternative to K Street -- is one of the most impactful progressive lobbying shops in Washington DC.

You can donate to P Street, or make a tax-deductible donation to the Progressive Change Institute’s push for big ideas.

Progressive power is growing. You’re a part of it. Thanks for being a bold progressive.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
