WELCOME
Welcome to the Northwest Progressive Institute, a forward-thinking organization dedicated to building a more progressive America and raising the quality of life in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.
We research ideas and propose solutions to elected officials, opinionmakers, and the American people. We uncover the harmful consequences of right wing initiatives, particularly those sponsored by Tim Eyman. We're a unique kind of think tank, built on activist roots. Our most important resources are human energy (your energy!) and the Internet - the most democratic medium for communication ever invented.
We exist to organize and mobilize progressive thinkers, and give activists an outlet to make their voices heard.
