Strategy and communications consultant Payne briefly gives advice on how the American progressive movement can build a infrastructure of think-tanks, media, lobby groups, and other organizations and then presents profiles of the types of organizations that currently exist and illustrate this paradigm--organizations such a the community organizing group ACORN, Air America Radio, Brave New Films, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, the Center for American Progress, the Huffington Post, MoveOn, Planned Parenthood, the Sierra Club, Vote Vets, and Young Democrats of America, among others. In each profile, a leader or officer of organization in question answers Payne's questions concerning the organization's purpose, its plan to impact the public debate, its plans for growth and change, and advice for fellow progressives.
