We Analyze the Demographics of Power

Our research exposes the stark demographic imbalances between the American people and our elected officials, and tracks the rising political power of women and people of color.

We Organize for Structural Change

We spearhead innovations to the political system so that women and people of color have full access to the halls of power.

Our Work In Focus

We investigate power imbalances, we document progress, and we build solutions.
