The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) is an American political action committee (PAC) associated with the progressive movement. The PCCC invests in advocacy campaigns and progressive candidates running for office in the United States, at both the national and local level.[2][3][4][5] The PCCC also operates a sister organization, called the Progressive Change Institute, which it describes as a "people-powered think tank".[6][7]

The PCCC raises millions of dollars annually for its campaigns. As a freestanding political action committee, it can only accept individual donations of $5,000 or less per election cycle. Much of the organization's spending goes into salaries for employees working on issue advocacy campaigns as well as supporting candidates.[8]
