This organization was an outgrowth of Fair Share. In 1979, Rapoport spoke alongside [[Nancy Shier]] and [[Jonathan Rowe]] at the [[Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee]]-initiated [[Democratic Agenda]] Conference. [[DSOC]] would go on to merge with the [[New American Movement]], forming [[DSA]] in 1982. From 1985-1994 Rapaport served in the Connecticut General Assembly. One of Rapoport's first acts on becoming Connecticut Secretary of State in 1995 was to hire [[Merrillee Milstein]] as his Deputy Secretary. A prominent radical activist herself, Milstein had been honored by the [[CPUSA]]'s [[People's World]] Newspaper, and was married to prominent [[CPUSA]] member, [[Brian Steinberg]]. In 1996 Rapoport was arrested alongside [[DSA]]er [[John Sweeney]] and prominent [[CPUSA]] members, [[Joelle Fishman]] and [[Blair Bertaccini]]. Also that year, Rapoport was one of the original 130 founders of [[Campaign for America's Future]]. In 2008 he spoke alongside [[Karen Kornbluh]] at [[CAF]]'s National Conference, [[Take Back America]].

His organization [[Demos]] is also listed as a partner organization of [[IPS]]. Rapoport is a strong supporter of [[Barack Obama]].
