The mission of the Rockridge Institute is to help achieve a just, democratic, environmentally sustainable, and humane society.

Rockridge works to:

Reframe the public debate to make a progressive moral vision more persuasive and resonant.

Tell the progressive story in moral terms and connect it to the values and ideals embodied in America’s history and traditions.

Build links with activists, policymakers, the media, academics, and other key groups to educate the public and inform the public debate.

Advance public policies that will bring us closer to a society that is just, democratic, humane and environmentally sustainable.

Nurture a unified voice among those working for progressive change by developing a common progressive story, a common moral language and shared policy directions.
