Public Agenda, an innovative public opinion research and public engagement organization, works to strengthen our democracy's capacity to tackle tough public policy issues. Our efforts – online, through PublicAgenda.org, our issue guides and Citizen's Survival Kit, FacingUp.org, PlanetForward.org and on social networks - and in communities around the country, and through our academic arm, the Center for Advances in Public Engagement (CAPE), are all focused on ensuring that the public's views are represented in decision-making.
