Speaking Out Against ALEC

CWA Legislative Campaign Lead Tysianna Marino was a featured speaker at a protest outside of the American Legislative Exchange Council’s (ALEC) 50th Anniversary Gala. ALEC is a corporate-funded special interest group that develops anti-worker legislation, then works with politicians to introduce the bills in state legislatures across the country. Marino encouraged participants to fight back against ALEC by voting and getting others to vote, so that every bill that legislators pass, is “living up to the standard of being of, by, and for the people.” Learn more about ALEC here.
