Strategic Plan

Strategic Priorities

Produce Critical Analysis
  • Equip social justice organizations, civic leaders, journalists, and other partners with timely, actionable research on antidemocratic, authoritarian, and supremacist trends and movements.
  • We do this by:
    • Producing strategic assessments of antidemocratic groups, leaders, and campaigns
    • Distributing interactive research tools for the democracy and social justice fields
    • Expanding capacities for trend spotting and early detection of new threats
    • Generating investigative research and journalism on underestimated risks
    • Designing actionable tool kits for organizers
Effect Narrative Change
  • Shift the paradigm for how civil society addresses the existential crisis posed by 21st century antidemocratic, authoritarian, and supremacist movements.
  • We do this by:
    • Exposing and challenging White nationalist, theocratic, and other bigoted actors and campaigns
    • Replacing outdated frameworks and false solutions
    • Shifting narratives toward a systems-oriented understanding of threats and solutions
    • Working with other “watchdog” groups to support democracy and justice organizing
    • Connecting our experts to legacy and social media
Sharpen Pro-democracy Strategy
  • Partner with justice-oriented groups and organizers to sharpen strategies to block antidemocratic movements and build multiracial democracy.
  • We do this by:
    • Providing sustained strategic counsel to key civil society partners
    • Supporting national initiatives and select regional strategies
    • Documenting and disseminating strategic lessons learned
Maintain & Grow PRA’s Capacity
  • Establish the optimal resources, infrastructure, and talent to achieve results in an environment where staff can grow and thrive.
  • We do this by:
    • Recommitting to a culture of equity, inclusion, and transparency
    • Raising resources from donor activists and institutions to expand PRA’s capacity to meet the needs of our field
    • Emphasizing feedback, evaluation, and learning to ensure PRA endures as an adaptable, strategic, and effective organization
