ISSUE AND ADVOCACY WORK
Impact has partnered with groups like the Planned Parenthood, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Family fund, national labor unions, healthcare reform advocates, and environmental organizations to conduct in-depth analysis of voter opinion on the most substantive public policy issues facing the country. In just the last couple of years we’ve helped such groups measure public opinion and devise and implement strategies on issues like healthcare reform, financial regulatory reform, net neutrality, internet gaming, labor union pensions, national tax policy, and improving turnout among younger voters. Given our in-depth experience in complex policy areas, we’re practiced in helping team members with a policy background turn their input and objectives into a workable research plan to both gauge public opinion and reach their strategic goals.
