PolicyLink

PolicyLink is a national research and action institute founded in 1999, working to advance the laws, policies, and public demand needed to govern for all. The organisation concentrates on structural solutions: it shapes conditions, builds connections, and strengthens field infrastructure rather than addressing symptoms in isolation. Its work spans policy research, public policy advocacy, legal and regulatory systems, economic equity, infrastructure and transportation policy, housing policy, and corporate racial equity. The institute directs its efforts across five arenas: the legal and regulatory systems that shape democracy and the economy; federal agencies; state and local governments; the collective consciousness and action of people; and institutional leaders and capital allocators. Applied areas of focus include an equitable economy, infrastructure, transportation, housing, corporate racial equity, and advocacy for boys and men of color. PolicyLink is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organisation headquartered in Oakland, California, with an additional office in New York City and a national scope across the United States. It describes itself as focused on delivering results at a scale matching the country's challenges and potential.
