POLICY & OUTREACH
Throughout the year, MAP mobilized leaders in our network to strengthen our democratic institutions, bring equity to our justice systems, build more resilient communities through improved energy infrastructure, and reimagine the future of work. Innovative policy solutions are a powerful tool to bridge political divides, especially amongst young legislators, and MAP supports this critical work by: sourcing notable legislative approaches, disseminating best practices, convening subject matter experts, and facilitating dialogue amongst policymakers on issues of critical importance.
