"Albany is where good legislation goes to die." -- Quote from a personal friend

It's takes decades to change policy, enact legislation. A very readable intro is the Waxman Report. https://www.amazon.com/Waxman-Report-Congress-Really-Works/d...

My unsolicited advice is:

- Convert this outrage into action. Do fund raising.

- Set up an organization that can run a marathon. Burnout for activists is very high.

- Someone, somewhere will pass this legislation. Find them. Even if it's just for virtue signaling. Like a city, which can't enforce such laws, passes a measure, to build awareness and demonstrate support for a policy.

- Get politicians on record. Create a candidate questionnaire. Send it out to all campaigns. Publish the answers.

- Encourage various local political parties (congressional districts, state level legislative districts, etc) to include your questionnaire (as part of their endorsement processes).

- Get various parties to include your policy in their platforms. Again, builds aweness and demonstrates support.



Thank you for offering solutions.
