Grassroots

Public-Private Partnerships

Encourage employers and workforce boards to partner with eligible programs and perhaps co-fund or promote them.

Organize employers and workforce boards to partner with approved Workforce Pell programs so training aligns with real jobs and students can move quickly into work. Partnerships can include co-promotion, referrals, and in some cases co-funding or support services that lower barriers for learners. This matters now because states and schools are preparing for rollout, and early employer-backed success helps sustain political support.

Why this works

Leverages industry support to ensure programs meet labor market needs and helps students find jobs quickly, reinforcing success stories.

Tech Oversight Project

Advocacy

Holding Big Tech accountable through policy and pressure

The Tech Oversight Project is a tech policy advocacy organization launched in 2022 to push for aggressive government action against Big Tech monopolies:. It is the only watchdog focused solely on advancing antitrust legislation and regulatory scrutiny of companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, and Apple. The Tech Oversight Project uses campaign-style tactics — rapid response communications, opposition research, and media outreach — to counter Big Tech’s lobbying and rally support for reforms that protect consumers, privacy, and competition:.
