RIGHT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using an appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.
- Overall, we rate the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) as Right Biased due to its strong support for protectionist economic policies aligned with conservative trade agendas and its affiliation with Project 2025. While CPA frequently cites credible sources, its advocacy-driven framing and lack of funding transparency and a failed fact check result in a Mixed rating for factual accuracy.

History
The Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) is a nonprofit organization advocating for trade and economic policies that prioritize domestic U.S. production. According to its About page, CPA describes itself as the only national nonprofit representing exclusively domestic producers across multiple sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture, and labor.
CPA’s leadership includes individuals with prior experience in Congress, the Executive Branch, and the private sector. The group values “quality employment, national security, and domestic self-sufficiency over cheap consumption.” CPA is headquartered in Washington, D.C. CPA is listed as one of the coalition partners of Project 2025, an initiative coordinated by The Heritage Foundation to influence policy planning for the next conservative presidential administration.

Funded by / Ownership
CPA is registered as a 501(c)(3). The site states it is “member-driven,” funded by dues and donations, but does not publish any Form 990s, audited statements, or a donor list, which limits outside scrutiny of major contributors or potential industry concentrations.
Analysis / Bias
The Coalition for a Prosperous America exhibits a strong nationalist and protectionist economic orientation. Its content often supports Trump-era tariffs, criticizes globalist trade frameworks such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), and promotes U.S. economic self-sufficiency. For example, in a 2025 article titled “Why the U.S. Needs President Trump’s Tariffs”, CPA describes these policies as a “revival strategy for American manufacturing.”
CPA frequently emphasizes the benefits of tariffs for national security, as seen in the article “How to Make Tariffs Work for National Security”, which incorporates data visualizations and links to external sources such as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Financial Times.
In contrast, some articles use emotionally charged framing. For instance, the piece titled “Big Ag is Dead Wrong on Trade” paints a dire picture of U.S. agriculture, claiming globalization policies have “hollowed out” family farms and undermined national food sovereignty. While the article references credible data from the USDA Economic Research Service, it conveys an ideological narrative that favors trade protectionism and populism, and selectively emphasizes negative trends to support its argument.
Overall, while CPA’s articles regularly cite public data (e.g., from OECD, USDA, USITC), the framing often positions foreign competition and globalization as existential threats to American livelihoods.
