Since 2007, CCLP has evolved, supported by a wide range of talented team members, Senior Fellows, and a committed board. Over the years we have tackled issues ranging from technology and human trafficking, to the role of women in communication leadership, to new business models for news. For the past several years, CCLP has had an important presence in Washington, D.C., where Adam Clayton Powell III leads our work. Among other activities, he runs projects on Election Cybersecurity and Africa–U.S. relations. This page offers a glimpse into our current efforts.

Update from the Election Cybersecurity Initiative
In 2022, the security of elections became a topic of conversation across all of America. With this increased interest in election security, CCLP’s work on election cybersecurity has received bipartisan support from every state in the nation. The ECI has continued to do tremendous work safeguarding American democracy and our domestic successes have led to international opportunity. ECI Director and CCLP Senior Fellow Adam Clayton Powell III traveled to Greece for the “Cybersecuring Democracy Conference” in June 2022 and will be traveling to South Africa to give a key note address in October 2022.
