Supplemental to our work:

• BetterGeorgia.com. This nonpartisan, progressive organization focuses on communications on progressive issues.
• Congressional Progressive Caucus, U.S. House of Representatives. (As members of Congress, the Caucus advocates specific legislation. However, this legislation is drawn from an expression of principles and policies so may offer some insights for our Project. (Principles are a level more detailed than values but less detailed than policies.)
  
  

• Progressive Democrats of America (This is not specifically a values-oriented organization; but its multi-issue mission illustrates the commonality of issues that define "progressive values.")
• Truman National Security Project ("Training a New Generation of Progressives to Lead on National Security." The website offers training materials, including "Top Ten Mistakes Civilians Make When Talking to the Military.")
