Projects

Globalization Initiative:
NDN's Globalization Initiative is an ongoing effort to provide a new narrative and set of
policy recommendations that address the impact of globalization on the U.S. economy
and our workers. While globalization benefits the U.S. economy in terms of GDP growth
and productivity gains, many Americans are not prospering in this new economic era.
NDN is committed to making globalization work for all Americans by offering an
economic strategy that would modernize our health care and energy policies; invest in
our workers, students, and infrastructure; and foster and accelerate innovation across the
economy. This economic strategy also includes measures to address our immigration
system and ensure universal and affordable access to computers and broadband.

The Green Project:
NDN's Green Project is a program of the Globalization Initiative that seeks to develop a
legislative, regulatory and advocacy framework to address climate change, enhance
energy security, and accelerate the development of green technologies to promote
economic growth. This initiative is designed to serve as a bridge between key
stakeholders in the new clean technology community and public leaders as we build the
low-carbon economy of tomorrow. NDN Fellow Michael Moynihan directs the Green
Project.

Hispanic Programs:
NDN's Hispanic Programs work to ensure that all Hispanics living in the United States
are given a chance to realize the American Dream. The HSC conducts its own research,
advocacy and programmatic activities, and works with other progressive movement
leaders and institutions to develop their own efforts to reach and involve the fast-growing
Hispanic population. It also sponsors a variety of media campaigns through NDN's
affiliate, the NDN Political Fund. NDN's Hispanic Programs build on the work of the
New Democrat Network's Hispanic Project, which pioneered a modern way of reaching
out to Hispanics from 2002-2004.

New Politics Institute:
The New Politics Institute is a new kind of think tank helping progressives understand
today's transformation of politics resulting from the tumultuous changes in technology,
media and the demographics of the country. NPI helps progressives not only understand
the changes, but master, the new political strategies needed to succeed in this
environment. In this way, it also acts like a strategy center, helping form practical
strategies that people in politics can use to deal with the new realties of a changing
America.
