ALEC EXPOSED From ALEC Exposed Jump to: navigation, search THROUGH ALEC, GLOBAL CORPORATIONS ARE SCHEMING TO REWRITE YOUR RIGHTS AND BOOST THEIR REVENUE Through the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council, global corporations and state politicians vote behind closed doors to try to rewrite state laws that govern your rights. These so-called "model bills" reach into almost every area of American life and often directly benefit huge corporations. In ALEC's own words, corporations have "a VOICE and a VOTE" on specific changes to the law that are then proposed in your state. DO YOU? Numerous resources to help us expose ALEC are provided below. We have also created links to detailed discussions of key issues, which are available on the left. #50YEARSOFHARM Undermining Workers’ Rights and Worker Organizing Voter Suppression, Gerrymandering, and Other Anti-Democratic Activism Pushing for a Radical Rewrite of the U.S. Constitution Crushing Local Democracy Extending a Lifeline to Big Polluters WHO IS BEHIND ALEC?

ALEC AT THE SECRETIVE COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL POLICY, MAY 21, 2021 ALEC was given the platform to present two panels at the Christian Right Council for National Policy's May 2021 meeting where it laid out its top priorities. In the two videos obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy, ALEC CEO Lisa Nelson and national chairs speak candidly on ALEC priorities in "Can the States Save America?" and "Saving America Through the States." ALEC - THE BACKROOM WHERE LAWS ARE BORN This is a glimpse into the world of the American Legislative Exchange Council, a corporate-funded charity that pays for lawmaker trips to resorts where they leave with ready-to-pass bills. Neither ALEC nor the Georgia legislature would show us where the money comes from, or who it goes to. A CHARITY FOR LAWMAKERS? ALEC LEGISLATOR RESIGNS TO BECOME LOBBYIST Rep. Ben Harbin resigned after two decades as a Georgia legislator the same day as 11ALive reporters asked him for an interview about the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) meeting where he was found behind closed doors with the top state lobbyist for the cell phone industry. Atlanta's 11Alive follows up on its behind-the-scenes investigation of ALEC. Sign up for news and updates from the Center for Media and Democracy Loading.... Get the Facts!
