Launched in 2018, Groundwork Collaborative (Groundwork) is driven by the idea that We Are The Economy: when all of us are doing well, that is when our economy thrives. We fight for progressive economic policy and narrative change that builds accountable public power, breaks up concentrations of private power, and centers people too long left out of prosperity. Taken together, these actions can help build a stronger and more resilient economy.
Groundwork’s unique structure – part strategic communications organization, part think tank, and part issue advocacy organization – enable us to drive narrative and policy change with credibility, expertise, and impact. We work across four core audiences – the media, policymakers, economic experts, and grasstops leaders – using targeted policy campaigns, timely research, and compelling messaging to advance a truly inclusive economic worldview.
