About Us

We are building a megaphone for moderates

The Moderate Power Project champions moderate leaders and ideas to challenge the far left, defeat the MAGA right, and govern effectively from the middle.

America's political center is under siege

In today’s politics, the center is in peril. MAGA has captured the GOP. A loud and organized far left aims to pull the Democratic Party out of the mainstream. And the majority in between is exhausted. MPP empowers moderates to activate America's mainstream majority, beat back extremism, and offer the forward-looking ideas this country urgently needs.

Our work is structured for impact

MPP is a split 501(c)3 / (c)4 initiative comprised of five programs that together amplify and empower the next generation of centrist leaders and policy ideas. Each program meets a critical need in the greater moderate infrastructure.

MPP is a flagship Third Way initiative

Powered by Third Way’s strategic expertise and national reach as one of the largest and most influential organizations on the center left, MPP serves as the engine powering a renewed centrist movement that pumps up the volume on moderate views and voices. MPP has its own dedicated budget within Third Way, and its programs are run by Third Way staff in collaboration with outside consultants and allied organizations.

We are moderates on a mission

MPP is powered by a seasoned team with deep experience across the political spectrum—from data and messaging to talent recruitment and coalition-building—making us uniquely equipped to scale moderate influence in every arena.
