Organizational Accomplishments

13 Institute for Policy Studies 2013 Organizational Accomplishments

ORGANIZATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2013 The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) is a community of public scholars and organizers linking peace, justice, and the environment in the United States and globally. We work with social movements to promote true democracy and to challenge concentrated wealth, corporate influence, and military power. Our overarching goal is to illuminate and speed the transition from a militarized and speculative economy to a green, caring, and peaceful Main Street economy. The year 2013 marked a period of celebration as well as transformation for the Institute. We celebrated 50 years of cutting edge scholarship in partnership with our top fifty allies, including 350.org, Campaign for America’s Future, CodePink, Jobs with Justice, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National People’s Action, National Priorities Project, Restaurant Opportunties Centers United, Story of Stuff, and the U.S. Campaign to End Israeli Occupation. Over 1,000 people, including over 250 IPS “alumni” joined Harry Belafonte, Amy Goodman, Ai-jen Poo and others to celebrate “IPS at 50” in October 2013 at Union Station, Busboys & Poets, and the Liaison Hotel in Washington, D.C. We proudly paid tribute to three pillars of IPS: Harriet Barlow, and Cora and Peter Weiss. We also honored the life and work of award-winning filmmaker, author, poet, and fearless human rights activist Saul Landau, who died on September 9, 2013. In his more than 40 years at IPS, Saul produced more than 40 films and TV programs, 14 books, and thousands of newspaper and magazine articles and reviews. Friends and colleagues of Saul’s, including Sarah Anderson, Harry Belafonte, Robert Borosage, Phil Brenner, John Cavanagh, Ariel Dorfman, Netfa Freeman, Farrah Hassen, Landau family members, Marcus Raskin, Julia Sweig, and Peter, Cora, and Danny Weiss, and Haskell Wexler spoke at a program honoring his legacy. Each year IPS is emboldened by our supporters and our partnership with social movements to turn ideas into action, and inch ever closer to our overarching goal. Below is a selection of some of our key accomplishments in 2013, as well as media and event highlights.

PEACE At IPS, we strive to reform the United States. into a more responsible global partner by advocating for policies that prioritize human and environmental rights and the rule of law. In 2013, the Institute saw several victories on the path to achieving this goal - including the U.S. decision to not pursue armed conflict in Syria. In 2013, our New Internationalism Director Phyllis Bennis travelled globally in pursuit of peace. As the global community celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the “Day the World Said (Photo: Jayel Aheram / Flickr) ‘No’ to War,” Phyllis Bennis traveled to London and made the recommitment for peace on the Institute’s behalf. Phyllis also travelled to South Africa, where her expertise helped consolidate the country’s Palestine-Israel policy around UN centrality, human rights, and international law. IPS was proud to play a significant role in the September 2013 prevention of war against Syria. This success was thanks to the efforts of Phyllis Bennis and our anti-war allies, including Peace Action, MoveOn, Win Without War, and others. After nearly a decade and a half of wars, this hard-earned victory was cause for celebration. As IPS pushes the U.S. to wind down this longest period of war in its history, Research Fellow Miriam Pemberton is leading defense-dependent communities across the country in their transitions from the military to a green economy. In 2013, she advised the creation of the Connecticut Commission, which has begun to develop plans for diversification of the state’s economy away from military dependency, and will serve as a prototype for similar bodies in other states. In 2013 IPS also saw gains in another of its anti-war efforts closer to home: the push to end the “War on Drugs.” Drug Policy Project Director Sanho Tree conducted tours in England, Colorado, and New York, spoke to several thousand students visiting DC, and gave a keynote address at the Dominican Republic’s first drug reform conference, all in order to reframe the “war” narrative. After legislative victories in Colorado and Washington state, Sanho optimistically reflected, “I’ve been working on these issues for 15 years, and I’ve seen more change in the last 12 months than I have in the previous 14 years combined.” As IPS scholars such as Phyllis, Miriam, and Sanho travelled across the globe to partner with our allies in shaping U.S. foreign policy, our Foreign Policy In Focus (FPIF) project continued to reshape the dialogue surrounding diplomacy and peace. In 2013 FPIF forged partnerships with high-traffic media outlets like TheNation.com and Business Insider, which now syndicate original FPIF commentaries. FPIF has become a crucial and unique resource for progressive commentaries. In fact, it is the only truly progressive, comprehensive foreign policy website in the world.

JUSTICE For years, IPS has provided key research to raise public awareness on extreme inequality and its corrosive impact on our economy, communities, and democracy. In 2013, we saw the emergence of extreme inequality in the national dialogue, and celebrated successes in connecting people to campaigns that are narrowing this dangerous and unjust divide. Nationally, IPS continues to expose the dangers of extreme inequality and promote solutions. Our website, Inequality.org, and our weekly (Photo: Pabak Sarkar / Flickr) newsletter Too Much offer cuttingedge analysis of all aspects of inequality. In 2013, we produced a series of hard-hitting reports exposing the hypocrisy of “Fix the Debt,” a lobby group headed by CEOs who push austerity, while dodging taxes and collecting plush paychecks. After facing constant media scrutiny, Fix the Debt failed to win any of their key objectives. In August 2013, IPS published the 20th edition of our flagship “Executive Excess” report. The major finding: nearly 40 percent of the CEOs who made the top 25 highest-paid lists over the past 20 years were eventually "bailed out, booted, or busted." The report was covered by the Wall Street Journal, Marketplace Radio, New York Times, CNBC, and Los Angeles Times. We also saw our years of work in this area pay off when the SEC stood up to intense corporate opposition and issued a strong proposal for mandatory CEO-worker pay gap disclosure. Our work also aims to protect and secure economic justice for those who suffer as a result of extreme income inequality. In 2013 we teamed up with Restaurant Opportunities Centers United and published two op-eds on Darden Restaurants’ and the National Restaurant Association’s roles in blocking a long-overdue increase to the tipped minimum wage. One of the op-eds provoked a vitriolic industry-wide attack in multiple newspapers, and led to Darden revealing that it pays 20 percent of its hourly workers just $2.13 per hour. In the face of such harsh economic realities, IPS projects such as the Jamaica Plain New Economy Transition (JPNET) are building community resilience. JPNET has emerged as a regional model and innovation laboratory, and in 2013 it convened gatherings in Maine, Massachusetts, and Vermont for over 50 community resilience building groups. Meanwhile, our Break the Chain Campaign steadfastly advocated for the rights of migrant and domestic workers in the U.S. In 2013 it published a book in which seniors and disabled individuals affirmed undocumented caregivers’ impact on their lives, providing a critical perspective to lawmakers engaged in ongoing immigration debates. In the broader global context, IPS is working to eliminate trade agreements that have proven devastating to working families and their environments. Citing the economic devastation in Mexico that NAFTA at 20 has caused, our Global Economy Project partnered with international allies to launch a campaign against the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement. We also organized a series of conferences, a fact-finding mission, and reports aimed at lifting the lawsuit the mining company Pacific Rim brought against the Salvadoran government, despite the strong outcry from civil society groups and El Salvador’s sovereign government that the company cease its mining operations. page 4

ENVIRONMENT All who inhabit this planet have the right to clean air, land, water, and food - and they share the responsibility of ensuring that future generations have access to these resources. To achieve this end, IPS worked to keep the alternative economy and energy movements focused on truly sustainable efforts, and saw measurable steps forward. As we partnered with allies and movements to build a more sustainable future, IPS continued its work in helping shape policies that not merely achieve the desired ends, but do so in a democratic and transparent manner. In 2013, our Climate Policy Program fought to ensure - and won - concessions allowing greater civil society representation in the Green Climate Fund’s decisions regarding the means of achieving climate goals. Furthermore, by positioning a Green Climate Fund that champions clean, low-carbon and human rights-based development as an alternative to the dirty energy-heavy World Bank, we contributed to the World Bank marking a new direction for energy sector lending that limits support of coal. The U.S. has also reduced its coal lending, and Nordic countries and the UK have followed suit. As questions arise on the path to greater sustainability, our Climate Policy scholars have become thought leaders in providing creative and effective solutions. IPS was one of the first voices to advocate for the growing Robin Hood Tax campaign in the U.S., an innovative approach that would tax financial transactions in order to raise funds for climate justice and help build a climate-friendly economy. To protect the environment, we also need to divest from the industries that are profiting from its destruction. In 2013, IPS partnered with the Wallace Global Fund to elevate its Divest-Invest Philanthropy work to the next level. In doing so, we launched a campaign asking individuals to divest from fossil fuels and switch to clean energy investments. In this manner, rather than exacerbate climate change, returns are reinvested in the new economy. With an eye towards economic and political systemic transformation, IPS’ New Economy Working Group convened cutting-edge academics, policy analysts, digital organizers, funders and grassroots leaders within three key movements the Environmental Justice, the Economic Justice and the New Economy movements - to identify points of synergy. Our hope is that these organizations with varying visions of justice will coalesce around a shared vision of a New Economy. These conversations have been invaluable in many ways. They, for example, informed how we collaborated and engaged with a broader set of partners to facilitate the research working group of the Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) and orient materials – like the green/climate jobs database IPS created in the spring of 2013 – to support CJA members’ visions of a just transition towards a new economy.

YOUTH ACTIVISM AT IPS At IPS, we are proud of our strong history of activism - and we are even more excited about our future. Through two fellowships and our unique internship program, we are preparing the next generation of scholars and activists to take over the progressive movement. In 2013, our NextGEN Intern Program expanded its reach under the leadership of Intern Coordinator Emily Norton. Through NextGen, IPS hosted its first Idea Slam and awarded young winners for their innovative plans to improve the health of our people and planet. It extended the bounds of its workshop series to incorporate the voices of allied groups, high school students, and young poets. Most importantly, IPS staff and interns remodeled the program to embody the New Economy value of “gift exchange.” Workshops and trainings are now designed to not only teach the frameworks of the progressive movement but also equip interns with skills needed for successful public scholarship and organizing. In 2013, our Carol Jean and Edward F. Newman Fellow, Leslie Garvey, leveraged the Institute’s profile on social media to heighten its visibility among youth. Leslie helped IPS to double its Facebook audience, and garnered over 1,000 new Twitter followers for the Institute. As we look to our next 50 years, Leslie has also played a key role in our efforts to establish a new look for IPS, spearheading the campaign to create a new visual identity for the Institute.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS In 2013, IPS hosted numerous events that provided us with the opportunity to join together with incredible allies and engage the community on some of today’s most pressing issues. In May, IPS established itself as an ally in the movement to address mass incarceration by co-sponsoring two extraordinarily successful events with Family & Friends of Incarcerated People at Busboys and Poets. The first of a two-part series was Glimpse of the Prison Industrial Complex from the Inside, which featured first-hand perspectives and experiences by a panel of formerly incarcerated persons, as well as screening the 17-minute documentary, “Released to Life.” Part two of the series, The Human Costs of The Prison Industrial Complex, focused on supporting creative solutions devised by those most directly impacted, featuring family members of incarcerated people, those who have been moving national legislation and those organizing to give back to their communities in profound ways. Similarly, The Power of Dialogue: Peace from Unexpected Places and Unexpected People spoke to the international dimensions of mass incarceration. This event was at “DC Town Hall” (also at Busboys and Poets) about the example El Salvador offers regarding country-wide record lows in homicide rates as a result of a profoundly brokered initiative between “gangs,” with assistance from Latino U.S. American grassroots organizers. The issue of mass incarceration was also included in the “Idea Slam” of our 50th anniversary to the nearly 200 attendees from the perspective of the formerly incarcerated. As a finalist, the Director of Family & Friends of Incarcerated People, Stuart Anderson, was able to present his vision for addressing mass incarceration. Later in the year, our Global Economy and Foreign Policy In Focus projects co-sponsored the D.C. premier screening of Fire In The Blood, a shocking exposé of how pharmaceutical companies use patent law to keep profits unconscionably high even at the expense of peoples’ lives, with the support of the Parallel Film Collective. Our Communications Team was instrumental in ensuring a sell-out audience for the screening, and in facilitating a post-film discussion panel.

MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS In 2013, the Institute for Policy Studies garnered significant attention from media outlets around the world. Our research and analysis on the economy, foreign policy, and the environment was covered by a wide variety of publications from prominent national media outlets like the New York Times and NPR, to specialty progressive outlets like Democracy Now! and The Nation. In April, Al Jazeera published Phyllis Bennis’ (Director, New Internationalism Project) analysis of John Kerry’s latest round of Israel-Palestine diplomatic efforts. Analysis and commentary on the latest developments around the world through our various projects are covered by outlets like The Nation, Common Dreams, AlterNet, and many others. In September, Variety Magazine paid tribute to the late Saul Landau, an American documentary filmmaker who was a longtime fellow at the Institute. Landau’s life and work was also featured in the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the New York Times, ABC News, USA Today, Reuters, and the Associated Press. In December, a report authored by Sarah Anderson (Director, Global Economy Project) was featured in Democracy Now! The report found that fast food companies are pocketing massive taxpayer subsidies for CEO pay while working to keep low-level workers’ wages so low that many must rely on public assistance. Other reports authored by the Institute’s scholars received coverage in the Wall Street Journal, Politico, Huffington Post, Salon.com, Fox Business News, Business Insider, and The Hill. Several IPS online publications offer commentary and analysis from progressive experts with perspectives broader than mainstream media coverage. In 2013, Inequality.org, our portal for data, commentary and analysis on all matters inequality, published “Growing Apart,” an interactive guide by historian Colin Gordon that explores the many dimensions of our contemporary inequality. The guide was mentioned in the New York Times. Inequality.org also celebrated the publication of IPS Associate Fellow Sam Pizzigati’s book, “The Rich Don’t Always Win”, while the distribution of our weekly online newsletter, “Too Much,” reached over 8,000 subscribers. The Institute’s editorial service, OtherWords (OtherWords.org), provides a steady flow of newsroom-ready commentaries and cartoons that reach millions of readers across the country. The Economic Hardship Reporting Project, an independent project created by IPS Board Member Barbara Ehrenreich and coordinated by IPS Fellow Karen Dolan, produces cutting-edge high quality journalism on issues of the criminalization of poverty. These independent publications ensure that powerful progressive voices continue to be part of the national conversation.
