Where We Stand on Domestic Issues

CAP’s policy priorities for U.S. domestic policymaking center on building opportunities for all Americans to share in the American Dream. Our policy work concentrates on the core engines that drive equal opportunity and shared prosperity—education, health care, government oversight, poverty, women's rights. Our progressive domestic priorities underscore our commitment to government that works for the common good.
