Here at 314 Action and 314 Action Fund, we’re on a mission to elect more scientists to Congress, state legislatures, and local offices. As trained problem-solvers, STEM professionals are ready, willing, and able to find solutions for the significant challenges facing America in the 21st century. With a millions-strong grassroots network of engaged supporters in every part of the country, 314 works to promote the scientific and evidence-based policy communities and has become one of the most impactful organizations in progressive politics. In 2018, we played a pivotal role in flipping the United States House of Representatives by electing nine first-time science candidates such as Dr. Kim Schrier, the first pediatrician elected to Congress, and registered nurse Lauren Underwood, the youngest Black woman to serve in the U.S. House. In November 2020, the only two Democrats who flipped United States Senate seats – Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona and Sen. John Hickenlooper of Colorado – were recruited to run for office by our organization. With staff ranging from an entrepreneurial scientist who stepped into the electoral arena to seasoned political operatives and skilled fundraisers, 314 provides critical resources and expertise to STEM candidates new to politics. We reach out to scientific communities, identifying people with professional STEM backgrounds to run for local, state, and federal offices. Our work includes training and supporting our endorsed candidates, ensuring they have the cutting-edge tools to run successful campaigns.

By enabling people to generate the knowledge, skills, and networks needed for accountability, we unleash positive social and economic change. We have three mutually reinforcing objectives: to support a positive movement to build accountability; provide substantive, flexible, and long-term support for those leaders who can collectively lead this movement within specific contexts; and support collaboration around accountability and open governance.

The Action Center on Race & the Economy (ACRE) is a campaign hub for organizations working at the intersection of racial justice and Wall Street accountability. We provide research and communications infrastructure and strategic support for organizations working on campaigns to win structural change by directly taking on the financial elite that are responsible for pillaging communities of color, devastating working-class communities, and harming our environment. We partner with local organizations from across the United States that are working on racial, economic, environmental, and educational justice campaigns and help them connect the dots between their issues and Wall Street so that each of the local efforts feeds into a broad national movement to hold the financial sector accountable. We approach all of our work through an explicit racial lens. We believe that race and class are intrinsically linked and that it is not possible to fix the structural problems in our economy in a race-neutral way. The financial and corporate elite use structural racism, targeting Black and Latino communities in particular, to divide us and pit us against each other while they destroy our livelihoods. We cannot achieve economic, environmental, or educational justice until we confront structural racism and take our demands directly to the financial elite profiting off the crises in our communities. At ACRE, we dedicate ourselves to doing just that.
