Moderate Power Project
The Moderate Power Project (MPP) is Third Way’s bold initiative to champion moderate voices, empower the next generation of center-left leaders, and reclaim control of our politics. MPP’s five dynamic programs build muscle in the middle—to reinvigorate America’s vital center, defeat extremism, and offer the forward-looking ideas this country urgently needs.
Our Mission
The Moderate Power Project is building a megaphone for moderates. We amplify center-left views and voices to challenge the far left, defeat the MAGA right, and govern effectively from the middle.
MPP Programs
Our work operates across five strategic programs—all designed to reinforce each other and reclaim the national conversation.
Data Hub
Arming moderate advocates and decision makers with cutting-edge qualitative and quantitative opinion research and persuasive analysis
Leadership Academy
Recruiting, supporting, and training rising star leaders and staff on the center left
Mod Comms
Championing moderate leaders and ideas across the range of traditional and new media platforms that shape public discourse
Talent Pipeline
Finding and helping place moderates in key political and policy roles
Venture Fund

The extremes have dominated our politics for too long, drowning out America's mainstream majority. The Moderate Power Project is how we push back. MPP is fighting for a politics rooted in curiosity, pragmatic problem-solving, and a deep belief in America’s promise. It gives moderates on the center left the platform and tools we need to reclaim our party, our country, and our future.
