What is Independent Strategic Research Collaborative Inc.?
Independent Strategic Research Collaborative Inc. (RC) is a trusted go-to research, strategy, messaging, and collaborative convening hub for progressive national, state, and local organizations working to realize the promise of a truly equitable, multi-racial democracy. RC generates and disseminates research, message guidance, and strategic approaches to address the pressing crises of the day and to put forward a long-term compelling progressive narrative for democracy.
Why do we think this project is important?
RC initiates, coordinates, and disseminates compelling communications research and narrative guidance on key pro-democracy- and elections-related issues and events; criminal and civil prosecutions related to former prominent members of government and their allies; and monumental Supreme Court terms. RC has helped to ensure better coordination among key researchers, ensuring more streamlined and collaborative research proposals go into the field, and helping to build a more collegial and connected research community.
