Roosevelt Institute

The Roosevelt Institute is a leading think tank that brings together macroeconomic, labor, climate, and industrial policy expertise. This grant will allow Roosevelt to expand efforts in (a) providing research and leadership; (b) engaging a network of partners across issue silos; (c) supporting staffing for effective governance; (d) engaging elite media and key thinkers to shape the narrative; and (e) educating policymakers on implementation of historic federal investments to support decarbonization and to build a more equitable economy.

“How to Save a Country” (formerly “What’s the Big Idea?”), a podcast sponsored by the Roosevelt Institute, highlights the most interesting, provocative, important thinkers, whose ideas can help us make sense of our world at a time of enormous political and economic paradigm change. Michael Tomasky, editor of both The New Republic and the journal Democracy, and Felicia Wong, president, and CEO of the Roosevelt Institute, are hosts. The show is designed to bring together the best of today’s policy magazine and think tank worlds.

The Roosevelt Institute works to advance an economic agenda that tackles concentrated wealth and power; strengthens the countervailing power of workers and communities; and reimagines public power as essential to supporting economic security and shared prosperity in ways that markets, when left alone, never will. This work is especially critical in this moment of crisis, which calls for both immediate relief and for long-term structural solutions. By combining thoughtful research and analysis with strategic communications and partnerships, the institute develops and promotes new economic thinking and policy ideas aimed at building toward a more resilient, just, and sustainable future.
