Advocacy

what we do

It continues to be clear that strong policy and advocacy work is needed in the region to move towards a fair and equitable economic transition in the region.

ACLC impacts policy through state and federal legislation, comment submissions to agency rulemaking, and by setting new precedents in case law.  We collaborate closely with local, regional, and national organizations.
