With no alternative language and overall vision available for public officials, policymakers, advocates, and journalists, it is difficult to promote or even discuss alternative policies. The debate is often over before it has ever really begun, and the progressive tendencies within the American people have no voice. We are founding the Rockridge Institute to change this situation.

The founders of Rockridge are distinguished scholars and researchers from the University of California representing a variety of disciplines (including cognitive science, sociology, law, history, linguistics, women's studies, and public health). Its Senior Fellows have a track record of nationally recognized research, political engagement, and commitment to social justice.
