The Center for American Progress is an independent, nonpartisan think tank based in Washington, District of Columbia. It conducts policy research and advocacy aimed at improving the lives of all Americans through policy ideas, leadership, and coordinated action. As a mid-sized player in the think tank sector, it seeks to influence national policy beyond discussion. In April 2026, the center announced the appointment of Anne Knapke as a senior fellow. The organization collaborates on policy analyses with partner groups, including a 2025 cross-issue study with RuralProgress and others on the potential impact of proposed federal budget changes on rural communities. It has engaged in policy events, such as virtual participation in the 11th National Gun Violence Prevention Summit in December 2025.
