Pro-Worker Legislative Exchange ‘SIX’ Formed
October 16, 2018
A NATIONAL organization is working to promote pro-worker legislation in various state legislatures—the State Innovation Exchange (SIX).
THE AMERICAN Legislative and Issue Campaign Exchange (ALICE), the Progressive States Network (PSN), and the Center for State Innovation (CSI) joined forces to create SIX.
“WE’RE GOING to be much more aggressive,” said Nicholas Rathod, SIX executive director and former special assistant to President Barack Obama. “There is a hunger and a need for an organization like this.”
UNITED STEELWORKERS International President Leo W. Gerard said. “It’s time for common sense to take hold again in our state capitols, before the voices of working families are drowned out for good.”
SIX PROVIDES lawmakers across the country with an extensive database of model legislation on issues such as union rights, civil rights, living wages, and workplace safety, among others.
