The Power of Progress - A Conversation with John Podesta & Andy Stern

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 22:28:00 GMT

John Podesta's discussion of his new book, The Power of Progress with SEIU's Andy Stern. Podesta the former chief of staff for President Bill Clinton and founder of the Center for American Progress, explains how progressive values changed America in the wake of the Gilded Age and how these values can shape policy to work for the American people. Tapping the spirit of great progressive leaders from Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt to Martin Luther King Jr., The Power of Progress provides the road map toward a government responsive to the needs of its citizens, one that is focused on our generation's greatest challenges: combating global warming, growing our economy and expanding the middle class, and meeting Americas 21st century security challenges. http://www.americanprogress.org/

Who is a Progressive?

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:55:39 GMT

The Center for American Progress is a think tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action. We combine bold policy ideas with a modern communications platform to help shape the national debate, expose the hollowness of conservative governing philosophy, and challenge the media to cover the issues that truly matter. Our work builds upon progressive ideals put forth by such leaders as Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, and Martin Luther King. We draw from the great social movements of the 20th century?from labor rights and worker safety, to civil rights and women's suffrage. We translate those values into new ideas and action firmly rooted in the economic and political realities of the 21st century.
