Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Common Sense acts as a center for the progressive movement in North Carolina in the following important ways:
We publish Common Sense Says..., a periodic research report on a variety of critical issues in North Carolina. We also publish special in-depth research reports on important issues and trends in North Carolina.
We help grassroots groups by providing media consulting and advice on how best to reach state policy-makers.
We serve as a resource for statewide media to balance the conservative viewpoint on key issues.
Furthermore, we develop and promote a multi-issue progressive agenda, provide exposure to progressive issues and voices, encourage more media coverage of progressive issues and voices, and serve as constant, persistent watchdog over state government and the political process.
Our major activities include:
A variety of publications, such as those listed above.
Presenting our views in other media, including radio, television, and newspapers, and through public speaking appearances.
Training and other forms of technical assistance.
Regular monitoring of governmental activities.
Networking and working in coalition with other progressive organizations.
