Economy pledge:roger hickey has continued to work to build support for our solidarity agenda pledge to fight for jobs, sustainability and economic justice, which has been signed by more than 20,000 activists as well as the original 100 prominent signers. Over recent years, the national debate over rebuilding the economy after the covid-triggered economy has been influenced by the solidarity agenda pledge and it's five-point program.in recent months, hickey and other original signers have distributed articles by those signers via the solidarity agenda blog.the major principles of the solidarity agenda remain the same, with the addition of two additional principles, vi and vii:i. Invest in economic recovery, sustainable growth and green jobsii. Fight inequalityiii. A new social contractiv. Transform corporate power institute for america's future, inc. 52-1971942v. A global economic strategy for working americansvi. Guarantee the constitutional right of women to control their reproductive decisions.vii. All americans have a right to a democracy for all people - and in every part of the country.hickey and other signers have been working with groups and coalitions that have been organizing around key parts of the solidarity agenda continuing to build the debate around the remaining work that needs to be done around economic recovery, global warming, fighting inequality, an expanded social contract, needed changes to the power of corporations and a global strategy for working americans. Over many years articles written for iaf and caf have been published on our blog. But in recent years it has become harder to find those blog posts. So in late 2022 we began an effort to collect those blog posts and to make them available on our solidarity agenda website.robert borosage is writing regularly on economics and politics at the nation, and those articles are reprinted in many other places. He is also involved in regular work with key congressional leaders and leaders of progressive organizations and he serves as president of the newly-revitalized congressional progressive caucus center.
Progressive leadership institute:progressive leadership institute operates as a consortium of researchers and practitioners who seek to identify effective interventions to address ways in which social identity differences result in systematic and individual inequity. We rely heavily on social science social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and sociology to understand the mechanisms underlying inequity resulting from human behavior and institutional outcomes. We assess how interventions from a wide array of contexts indigenous practices, mediation, restorative justice frameworks, cognitive psychology can be employed to change institutional dynamics. We also engage in original research.
Public leadership institute:the public leadership institute (pli) project conducted training for policymakers, including understanding how public policy can be designed to address social and economic problems, how to analyze and design public policy, effective governance and decision-making, and how to develop public messaging and communicate effectively with the public. Pli developed model legislation that is publicly available on itswebsite and compiled model bills in the progress agenda guide, which it distrusted to policymakers in all 50 states and published on its website. Pli also conducted virtual and in-person skills-building training on public speaking, media relations, and coalition building.
