The New Press is a brand that amplifies progressive voices for a more inclusive, just, and equitable world. As a nonprofit public-interest publisher, they leverage books, diverse voices, and media engagement to facilitate social change, enrich public discourse, and defend democratic values. Their mission is to ensure a more inclusive set of public conversations on issues of equity, racial justice, political access, and representation.

The New Press is a home for leading progressive thinkers, journalists, scholars, political leaders, and activists, where ideas and movements come together. They publish books that serve public goals and support cutting-edge, fact-based ideas, valuing their books based on their contribution to the intellectual rather than the commercial bottom line. The New Press relies on book sales and the support of institutional and individual donors to sustain their mission of refreshing American democracy and serving as catalysts for social change
