The initiative is working to:\n\n(1) Identify a talented and diverse pool of progressives from around the country through educational, organizing, and advocacy networks.\n\n(2) Recruit these individuals to apply to be part of an endorsed group of candidates.\n\n(3) Provide these endorsed candidates with training on how to succeed in a Congressional office.\n\n(4) Present newly-elected progressive Members of Congress with the slate of endorsed candidates, and provide opportunities for these incoming lawmakers to meet with the candidates prior to the start of the new Congress.\n\n(5) Provide continuous training and support for staffers once placed in Congressional offices, including skill-development, research assistance, and strategy meetings with allies and experts.\n\n(6) Maintain a roster of exceptional vetted candidates for Hill positions, track new openings in Congressional offices, and seek to ensure placement of qualified candidates.\n\nConservatives got the message about the importance of Congressional staff capacity decades ago. Today, there’s a large network of capacity-building programs on the right, including the Heritage Foundation’s Young Leaders Program, the Charles Koch Institute’s Hill-focused professional development programs, the Federalist Society’s multifaceted pipeline for right-wing legal talent, Capitol Hill staff programs from the conservative Tax Foundation and Mercatus Center, and multiple talent development programs from neoconservative groups like the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and the Foreign Policy Initiative.

"value":"We are developing a new system for connecting committed progressives from diverse backgrounds to Congressional offices. Key outside groups and Members of Congress have come to recognize that there has not been an obvious entry point for potential staffers that do not already have insider connections and are not yet trained in the workings of Congress. We want to fix this, so we are joining forces to build a new onramp for people who might not previously been able to apply for this vital and rewarding work.\n\nBy applying to become an endorsed candidate to work on the Hill through the new Progressive Talent Pipeline, you can help Congress overcome these challenges. We’re searching far and wide for committed progressives to work in interested offices. Members of the Progressive Caucus have led signature legislative efforts such as: Medicare for All, opposing militarism, advancing full employment and a jobs guarantee, ending mass incarceration, addressing climate change, promoting reproductive justice, instituting humane immigration policies, opposing discrimination, expanding voting rights, and other priorities.\n\n**Why apply? If you are selected as an endorsed candidate, here are some of the benefits you’ll receive:**\n* Consideration for Hill positions as part of a small recommended group of candidates through the Congressional Progressive Caucus leadership.\n\n* Potential opportunities to meet with newly-elected Members of Congress as they begin making hiring decisions.\n\n* Extensive training in how to succeed in a Congressional office, including instruction on legislative strategy and bill drafting, communications, and management from senior staffers and outside experts.\n\n* If placed in a Congressional staff position, we will also seek to match you with a mentor and offer opportunities for continuing education and support from allied think tanks and policy organizations.\n\n",
