Demos (U.S. Think Tank)

Demos is a United States-based research and policy center founded in 2000 that presents a left wing viewpoint on economic issues. Based on its widely cited work in the media and growing impact on national and state policy, Demos continues to influence the national debate on election reform and economic security, with a particular emphasis on the development of a broad, stable future middle class in the United States. More recently, it has branched into issues of sustainability and alternative measures of economic progress.

According to their website, Demos maintains a non-partisan role in their policy change and reform work to revitalize American democracy. These efforts include opening up the electoral process to encourage high voter turnout, addressing financial instability in American households, engaging a public dialogue on ethics and values related to democracy and the economy, developing a shared national vision of effective government, and promoting the sustainable consumption of our natural resources.
