Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank. We are dedicated to informing and improving public policy in California through independent, objective, nonpartisan research. Since 1994, PPIC has helped California’s leaders to better understand policy issues by providing them with research that is free of partisanship or ideological biases. Today, we are a highly respected resource on a range of critical issues—encouraging productive dialogue and inspiring the search for sustainable solutions in Sacramento and across the state.
