How would subsidy clawbacks work in your jurisdiction? What can a utilities commissioner in your state do to counter corporate landlords? (More than you think!) How exactly will you, as a DA, champion unions without requiring new legislation? We’ll get you the answers you need in a format that’s easy to digest and convert into clear action steps.

• 1-10 page briefs with tiered policy “avenues” (i.e., try for X outcome but position your effort so that you’ll at least land at Y).

• Analysis of anticipated impact 1 year, 3 years, and 10 years out.

• Legal pathways to adoption and surveys of general feasibility.

Where has something similar been done, at either the state, city, or county level? How did it go? What (and who) was the opposition? Lessons learned? Ways to iterate and adapt to new jurisdictions?

• Case studies. Legal opportunities and barriers. Metrics for success. Potential collaborators.

Teams should have breadth and depth. And if you’re running on power, you need corporate law, corporate accountability, environmental justice, anti-corruption, consumer protection, and human and labor rights practitioners in your corner. Some of these experts are on our team and others in our orbit; if we don’t know someone for you, we’ll find them.

• Advice, brainstorming, coalition-building. Relationships to make you more confident, the campaign smarter, and your governance more effective.

There’s strength in numbers, yes, but there’s also creativity — a kind of partnered brilliance — in finding others who share your goals and your ambition.

• Way more than introductions. Joint policy trainings, potential pilot program integration, and more.

This is tricky because campaign strategy is not our forte (it’s probably yours!), but policy is. We don’t coordinate with campaigns, but we can advise on how to accurately and bravely communicate your policies without diluting or confusing your message (e.g., “public grocery stores” is a complex policy agenda, but a clear promise to constituents).
