About us
We are dedicated to renewing the promise of America by continuing the quest to realize our nation’s highest ideals. New America is a new kind of think-and-action tank: a civic platform that connects a research institute, technology lab, solutions network, media hub, and public forum. We generate big, bold ideas as templates for change. We design and advance evidence-based public policies. We surface, share, and scale locally generated and tested solutions to public problems through a national and global network of public, private, and civic partners. We develop legal, political, and technological tools to build democratic capacity and enable solutions to grow and spread. We tell stories about what is happening and what is possible, to give Americans a window into what we are capable of achieving together and a vision of what a renewed America could and should be.

On this day 85 years ago, five young Black Virginians were arrested for protesting segregation at their local library. Today, we honor this early example of peaceful public demonstration and invite you to learn more about the Alexandria Library Sit-In of 1939, an important event in America's march toward civil rights for all. Listen in to the history highlighted by our partners from Alexandria Library and the City of Alexandria, VA.

New America Senior Advisor Ted Johnson recently attended SALA Series Martha Vineyard, a summit dedicated to forging a shared path during divisive times. The “Reclaiming the American Dream” panel featured an amazing group of remarkable leaders discussing how America can evolve to include everyone in its promise of opportunity, what leaders and institutions can do to take proactive measures to combat growing racial disparity, and more.
At a time when divisiveness has perhaps never been greater, Aimée Eubanks Davis (Braven), Oneshia H. (National Fair Housing Alliance ), Sekou Kaalund (U.S. Bank) and Ted Johnson (New America) illustrated real-world examples showing how we can reclaim the American Dream, ensuring all are included and can realize our greatest promise as individuals and as a broader community. When being featured on our SALA Podcast, Eddie Glaude explained solutions are in our own control: “We are the leaders we have been looking for.” More here: https://lnkd.in/e9H9YwqG #democracy #leadership #community
