Campaign for America's Future

What Campaign for America's Future does

Campaign for America's Future (CAF) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit progressive advocacy organization that functions as a strategy center for the U.S. progressive movement. The organization coordinates progressive thinkers, organizers, and community activists around a shared policy framework called the Solidarity Agenda, which advocates for good jobs, sustainable prosperity, economic and racial justice, healthcare access, and democratic rights. CAF is headquartered in Washington, DC, and operates nationally across the United States through grassroots mobilization rather than direct electoral campaigning.

CAF's core programmatic offering is the Solidarity Agenda pledge, launched in 2018 and re-launched around the 2022 midterm elections. The pledge has been signed by over 100 prominent American leaders — including signatories from Sierra Club, Working Families Party, National Nurses United, and the Institute for Policy Studies — alongside more than 25,000 grassroots activists. The organization is led by co-directors and co-founders Robert L. Borosage and Roger Hickey, both long-standing figures in U.S. progressive politics with ties to the Institute for America's Future, the Institute for Policy Studies, and the Economic Policy Institute.

CAF's technology footprint is intentionally lightweight: the organization runs a WordPress-based website (campaignforamericasfuture.org) featuring a blog, a resources library covering 11 policy areas, the pledge sign-up flow, and links to educational content. Distribution occurs primarily through email newsletters, organic social media (Facebook and Twitter under the @PledgeOurFuture handle), and partner organization networks. The organization does not sell products or services; it is funded by donations processed through ActBlue and is governed as a member- and donor-supported nonprofit. It also operates in close coordination with People's Action and the Institute for America's Future, sharing infrastructure and email list coordination.
