NPP In Action
"National Priorities Project has long been a vital resource for advocacy and organizing by our members. In August 2007, on the eve of key congressional votes on the Iraq war, nearly 5,000 MoveOn members participated in over 160 events around the country highlighting the war’s true cost to local communities. We relied on National Priorities Project’s data to produce customized local reports on “the war at home”—and without NPP, we couldn’t have done it. We thank NPP for the service they provide day in and day out to their partners in the progressive movement."
- Justin Ruben, Executive Director
