Where We Stand on Media and Culture

CAP promotes and encourages progressive ideas and action by engaging Americans across many cultural milieus in many different media outlets. America is defined by its embrace of different races and cultures, religions and viewpoints—all sharing a common respect for the dignity of each and every individual and a strong belief in building a just and free country. We work to uphold these progressive values that underpin our society through film projects, public opinion polling, policy events, and book events, alongside activist campaigns, comedy reviews, radio outreach, and constant blogging on a variety of websites. These efforts are spread across a range of CAP outlets, including Campus Progress and Science Progress, and Center for American Progress Action Fund projects, including Think Progress, Mic Check Radio, and Climate Progress.
