The Center for Popular Democracy (CPD) is an American advocacy group that promotes progressive politics.[3][4][5] CPD is a federation of groups that includes some of the old chapters of ACORN.[6] The group's stated goal is to "envision and win an innovative pro-worker, pro-immigrant, racial and economic justice agenda."[7] The organization is allied with teachers’ unions and has published studies criticizing charter schools.[8][9]
The organization gained national prominence during the protests over Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the United States Supreme Court. One of the organization's co-executive directors, Ana Maria Archila, confronted U.S. Senator Jeff Flake over his support for the judge[10][11] and other activists had questions for U.S. Senator Rand Paul.[12]
Funding[edit]
CPD has received funding from the Bauman Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Democracy Alliance,[6] and the Open Society Foundations.[13][14][15][16]
