Erie Research Team
Erie's independent voice
We are a research center for Erie and the surrounding region. We use policy and research to support local development from a progressive and socialist perspective. We work with all types of groups and municipalities in the region to support the principles of solidarity, democracy, and liberty in our region.

Our methods are different than other think tanks, we are a democratically run outfit, working people volunteering to perform research in solidarity with others and from our lived experiences.
