According to its website, PRA: "is an independent, nonprofit research center that exposes and challenges the Right and larger oppressive movements, institutions, and forces. PRA produces accurate applied research and useful analytic tools to inform and support progressive activism that promotes equality and justice."
"PRA provides those of us working on the front lines of social justice struggles with the facts we need to fight. Their work is invaluable to the progressive movement in this country."

"PRA supplies the information that enables the rest of us to create strategies that defend and promote democracy. We can rely on it as thorough, thoughtful, carefully researched, and presented within a broad context of understanding of the complex relationships and activities of the Right. PRA sets the standard for researchers and political analysts of integrity and commitment to community activism."
