At this critical moment, the Brennan Center is dedicated to protecting the rule of law and the values of constitutional democracy. We focus on voting rights, campaign finance reform, ending mass incarceration, and preserving our liberties while also maintaining our national security. Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them – in Congress and the states, the courts, and in the court of public opinion.

CCST is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization created via the California State Legislature in 1988 to provide objective advice from California's best scientists and research institutions on policy issues involving science. We are modeled after the National Academies — the official scholarly body serving the United States of America — to provide the State of California with a parallel network of institutional and individual advisors. CCST convenes a statewide network of experts across disciplines and institutions. We respond to the Governor, the Legislature, and other entities on public policy issues related to science and technology — developing commissioned reports and securing peer-reviewed, evidence-based analyses to help address these questions. As part of our mission to ensure California's continued policy leadership, we also offer the CCST Science & Technology Policy Fellowship (http://ccst.us/science-fellows-program) — training PhD-level experts as staffers for the State Legislature and Executive Branch. Our CCST S&T Policy Fellows experience a year of public service and leadership training and the chance to explore a career in California’s policy arena. At the same time, the State Legislature and Executive Branch benefit from access to highly skilled, science-savvy staff. California's policies are stronger with science and technology. Whether you’re a prospective fellowship applicant, an interested funder, a staff member, legislator, or an advocate — if our mission and programs have sparked new ideas and new possibilities in your own vision and mission, we would love to hear from you!

We’re made up of people-centered problem solvers: Technologists, advocates, storytellers, and organizers from many different backgrounds and communities around the country. We merge the best parts of technology, nonprofit, and government. We believe government at all levels can and should work well for everyone—and the mindful use of technology makes it possible. We’re known for building digital tools, but the work doesn’t stop there. We seek to transform government by showing what’s possible when communities are included in policy and service design. We use insights and ideas from real people to guide us to real solutions that break down barriers to meet community needs and improve government in meaningful ways.

We promote technology initiatives that are equitable, open-source, and sustainable to advance global access to information. We work to advance the power of data to improve the social and economic lives of all people through public education, scientific research, and technology development and deployment. Our work aims to improve the public’s ability to find, collect, and share the open data they use to make more informed decisions in the benefit of the public interest. Our mission steers CS&S to examine the context surrounding how data can “improve the social and economic lives of all people through public education, scientific research, and technology development and deployment.” Through engagement with ideas and conversations around data, our mission guides how we engage with data, research, education, and tech communities, including people who have been historically excluded from these fields. Today we interpret the public interest framing of our mission as an opportunity to invest in and partner with projects that shift power to those who have been historically excluded from technology and science. We recognize the limitations of data and technology to improve the lives of all people, especially when data are collected, education conducted, and technology developed through processes that reflect societal white supremacy. To support researchers exploring equitable data and technology, we pay special attention to community-centered projects and the power of governance. We work with initiatives that partner data, research, and technology with community, governance, and equity to make knowledge and knowledge production more accessible. By partnering with collaborators in scientific research, open data, data science, AI and machine learning, free/libre/open source software, open access, open scholarship, and digital infrastructure, we aim to advance equitable access to knowledge and education. To support work in our mission area, we also partner with nonprofits, funders, universities, and other stakeholders to explore community governance, develop participatory funding programs, and explore new ways to centering power in communities.
