Program areas at CAP

Policy programs: public policy research and analysis was conducted across five cross-cutting priorities: democracy, economy, climate, racial equity & justice, and health. This included generating and publishing ideas and policies that informed key legislation such as the chips and science act, the inflation reduction act, the bipartisan safer communities act, the electoral count act, and the respect for marriage act.
Communications: the communications department educated the public on progressive policy solutions, addressed timely policy issues through various media channels and events, and shaped messaging across the organization's cross-cutting priorities: democracy, economy, racial equity and justice, climate and health.
OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY: Outreach and advocacy efforts disseminated policy solutions across CAP's cross-cutting priorities to educate policy makers, allied organizations, and the general public. This work included conducting message research, lifting up the personal stories of individual Americans, and producing digital content to help bolster the case for these policy solutions. Efforts also included work with a wide range of partner organizations to undertake joint campaign activity, including events, earned media, and digital communications.
