This moment calls for a bold, economic populism that fights and beats the villains that are ripping us off, stifling growth, and killing the American Dream.

We are thrilled to announce that Ryan O'Donnell has been named the next executive director of Data for Progress! Most recently serving as interim executive director, Ryan joined Data for Progress in 2019 and has been instrumental in establishing us as a leader in methodological rigor and as the go-to outlet for progressive primary election polling. As interim executive director, he has spearheaded our growing research on media consumption among less-engaged voters and overseen our rapid response polling on the daily dangers of Trump’s wannabe-authoritarianism. We’re so excited to have Ryan at the helm, driving our mission forward at Data for Progress: “In this next era for DFP, we are committed to serving as a shared hub for education and strategy that helps the movement act on what matters most. By democratizing access to public opinion research — and bridging gaps between organizers and policymakers — we believe we can shape the future of a winning progressive majority, drive ambitious change, and create a more equitable future.” https://lnkd.in/gnRcbTJG
