The Prometheus Institute is a public policy organization dedicated to discovering independent policy solutions to pressing national issues, and creatively marketing these ideas to the people of the United States, especially the younger generations. Existing policy organizations generally seek to forward their ideas through elite scholarship and occasional congressional testimony, but rarely through popular means. The Prometheus Institute is the first public policy organization dedicated to utilizing the power of marketing to empower the citizenry with the tools and knowledge to advocate for policy change. Through issue-oriented initiatives and other innovative programs, the Institute is constantly pursuing the cutting edge in public policy advocacy.
