Rockridge Institute Closing Down

George Lakoff's language and framing think tank, the Rockridge Institute, is closing up shop.

In the end, we encountered all these problems. They are endemic to progressive advocacy and politics. We weathered them for years and accomplished a huge amount. Eventually—even with a thousand donors—the funding problem caught up with us.

I used to joke in an offhand way that George Lakoff's books on framing had turned every Democrat in America into an amateur linguist. I also liked what they were doing, and I'm sad to see them go.
