The Center for Popular Democracy strengthens our collective capacity to envision and win a pro-worker, pro-immigrant, racial and economic justice agenda. The center’s network includes 48 grassroots affiliates across the U.S., representing more than 400,000 members. It provides crucial coordination, training, research, and other resources. These resources will support a range of economic justice work designed to catalyze a paradigm shift away from neoliberalism and toward more equitable alternatives.

The Center for Popular Democracy helps to socialize and advance the discourse on moving beyond neoliberalism among thousands of organizers and hundreds of organizations that do economic work in the U.S. Recently, the center launched a new journal, The Forge: Organizing Strategy and Practice. The Forge aims to build a community of practice for organizers and social change-makers focused on structural economic reform.
