The Atlas Project and Democratic GAIN share similar missions: to build the institutional memory of the progressive movement and to foster the professional growth of the individuals working for the cause. Atlas and GAIN fill roles not currently filled by any other organization – roles that are vital to our party and movement.

Our two organizations are working together to further the cause of building a stronger, more professional, well-educated movement.

We are a national membership association providing training and support for progressive political professionals and organizations to make sure that the progressive movement has the talent it needs to achieve landmark victories. Since our creation in 2003, we have built and grown an infrastructure that supports and connects our members across the country. Our members – both individuals and organizations – receive access to our premier job board and resume bank, a wide range of career support services, skillset and toolset trainings, events and other networking opportunities, and many additional unique benefits.

Our mission is to provide four pillars of support:

1. Job Board & Career Counseling

2. Talent Bank & Hiring Assistance

3. Trainings & Certifications

4. Networking Opportunities

We help the progressive community win tough election battles and legislative fights by providing the knowledge and power to tilt the political scales in favor of progressive candidates, issues, and causes. How? By empowering you with an online hub of historical and real-time candidate, media and elections data. You’ll gain immediate access to election results, voter registration, media spending, news monitoring and candidate endorsements for all 50 states from the presidential level down to state legislative. Moreover, through Democratic GAIN, The Atlas Project is cultivating progressive professionals and ensuring that the progressive movement has the talent it needs to achieve landmark victories.

Founded by Mary Beth Cahill, Steve Rosenthal and Michael Whouley following the 2004 election, The Atlas Project is a team of over 20 political operatives and data analysts—seasoned veterans from some of the most competitive progressive campaigns. We’ve worked to elect progressives at every level around the country.

Not only will we provide you with the insight, analysis and tools to help avoid costly missteps, make better strategic decisions, and ensure your staff a ready to meet the challenge—which, as you know, makes all the difference in your candidate or issue winning at the ballot box. But you’ll also get access to an institutional political memory: you won’t be forced to renavigate the political landscape every election cycle. You’ll know what the regional issues, personalities and politics are, sparing you time, money and mistakes that can cost elections.
