Washington, DC--Rep. Tulsi Gabbard joins progressive leaders in launching The Sanders Institute. The institute is a nonprofit organization focused on educational efforts and finding solutions to many of the challenges our country faces today.
"I've had the privilege of working with Tulsi over the past few years and have found her compassion, determination and intelligence to be impressive, particularly when it comes to foreign policy and the needs of our veterans. I look forward to the work we will do together at the Sanders Institute," said Founder Fellow, Jane Sanders.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to work with the Sanders Institute and its' Founding Fellows who are committed to ensuring fairness and equality for all. While we are living in challenging and unprecedented times, we will collaborate and focus on finding real solutions that best serve the American people and move our country forward," said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

Background: The Sanders Institute's mission is to revitalize democracy by actively engaging individuals, organizations and the media in the pursuit of progressive solutions to economic, environmental, racial and social justice issues. The Institute hosts a website that will include reports, op-eds, and original content from the Founding Fellows in addition to other individuals and organizations. Content will consist of thought-provoking perspectives with goals including civil discourse and deeper progressive participation.

The Sanders Institute Founding Fellows are Representative Tulsi Gabbard, Professor Robert Reich, Bill McKibben, Danny Glover, Dr. Stephanie Kelton, Ben Jealous, Dr. Cornel West, The Honorable Nina Turner, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Harry Belafonte, and Jane Sanders.
