Bipartisan Policy Center

http://bipartisanpolicy.org/

The Bipartisan Policy Center’s (BPC) mission combines politically balanced policymaking,

proactive advocacy, and outreach. It is the only Washington, DC–based think tank that actively

promotes bipartisanship. Its policy solutions are the result of informed deliberations by former

elected and appointed officials, business and labor leaders, and academics and advocates who

represent both ends of the political spectrum. The Center currently focuses on health, energy,

national and homeland security, the economy, housing, immigration, and governance.

Center for Law and Social Policy

http://www.clasp.org/

The Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) recently marked its 40-year anniversary. It

continues its mission of advocacy for millions of low-income people, promoting policies and

programs to strengthen families, create pathways to education and work, and improve the

lives of low-income people. This mission has evolved with the times. CLASP notes that

since the late 1960s, the gap between rich and poor has widened. The percent of people

living in poverty has fluctuated but has never dipped below the low it reached in 1973, and

the rate once again is rising. The current rate is 13.7 percent, which is the highest it has been

in 13 years.
