Groundwork Collaborative (GWC) is an American 501(c)(3) non-profit think tank and progressive advocacy group based in Washington, D.C., that, according to its website, "works to advance an economic vision for strong, broadly shared prosperity and true opportunity for all."[1][2]
The organization is led by Lindsay Owens, an economic sociologist who served as a senior economic policy advisor to Senator Elizabeth Warren and deputy chief of staff and legislative director to former Representative Keith Ellison and Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal.[3]
History
Groundwork was founded in 2018 by Michael Linden, who currently serves as the executive associate director at the Office of Management and Budget.[4][5][6]
In January 2021, Lindsay Owens became interim executive director and was named the organization’s executive director in June 2021.[7]
Previous notable Groundwork employees include Janelle Jones, former chief economist at the Department of Labor, and Angela Hanks, former acting assistant secretary for Employment and Training Administration at the Department of Labor.[8][9][10]
Activities
The Groundwork Collaborative offers research, analysis, and commentary on economic issues, such as inflation, student debt, housing, and the U.S. labor market.[11][12][13]
Members of Groundwork's staff have testified before various Congressional committees on the topics of corporate profiteering, supply chain bottlenecks, inflation, workers' rights, and corporate consolidation. Owens testified before the Senate Budget Committee regarding the links between corporate profiteering and inflation.[14] Dr. Rakeen Mabud, Groundwork’s chief economist, testified before the House Antitrust Subcommittee, the House Consumer Protection Subcommittee, the House Financial Services Committee, and the House Oversight Committee regarding inflation, profiteering and supply chain bottlenecks.[15][16][17][18] Mike Mitchell, Groundwork’s director of policy and research, testified before the House Fair Growth Committee regarding corporate consolidation and the imbalance of power between workers and companies.[19]
The organization has been described as a "left-leaning think tank" and a “nonprofit that is critical of corporate behavior” by The Washington Post, and a “progressive economic policy group” by The New York Times.[20][21][22]
