Welcome to ALICE!
Welcome to the American Legislative and Issue Campaign Exchange (ALICE), your public library of progressive state and local law.
Here, in one place, sorted by major conventional categories of state and local policy, you’ll find hundreds of examples of “exemplary” laws, meaning good law that’s been introduced or enacted somewhere, worthy of replication. You’ll find a smaller number of “model” laws, meaning suggested general language for a law, ready to be tailored to a particular jurisdiction. And you’ll find different kinds of “support” for both, meaning background research, talking points, and other aids in their effective communication. There are other resources too to help you in your work. Some are on line here. Others are planned.
We’re delighted to finally launch this website, but well aware of its limits in content and functionality. Please help us improve both by looking around the site and sending suggestions on things we’ve missed, messed up, or both.
