Title

The Center for Policy Alternatives

Description

The Center for Policy Alternatives (CPA) is the nation's only nonpartisan nonprofit organization working to strengthen the capacity of state legislators to lead and achieve progressive change.

About CPA

Today, state legislators are proposing the nation's most far-reaching, proactive measures. They are making legislatures a testing ground for the newest political debates. And they are winning progressive victories with cutting-edge policies-creating new healthcare programs, expanding antidiscrimination laws, strengthening the social safety net, developing new consumer protections, defending the environment, and most recently, reforming the tax system.

While legislators are now the vanguard of the progressive movement, they barely have the time or resources to do their jobs effectively. Forty-one states have part-time legislatures, and in 22 of those states, legislators have no paid staff. Nineteen legislatures meet less than 80 days a year, and six convene only every other year. These same legislatures annually consider 150,000 bills and enact 75 times more laws than the U.S. Congress.
