About us
The Center for American Progress is a think tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action. We combine bold policy ideas with a modern communications platform to help shape the national debate, expose the hollowness of conservative governing philosophy, and challenge the media to cover the issues that truly matter. Our work builds upon progressive ideals put forth by such leaders as Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, and Martin Luther King. We draw from the great social movements of the 20th century—from labor rights and worker safety, to civil rights and women's suffrage. We translate those values into new ideas and action firmly rooted in the economic and political realities of the 21st century.

The authors behind Project 2025 support plans to increase Social Security’s full retirement age (FRA). The latest budget proposal from the Republican Study Committee would do just that, raising the FRA from 67 to 69, which would lead to drastic benefit cuts for nearly three-quarters of Americans. Under this plan, a median-wage new retiree would lose thousands of dollars in retirement benefits a year. https://lnkd.in/g8uMc2-E
