Taking the High Road

The American Heritage® Dictionary defines High Road as:

NOUN:  1a. The easiest or surest path or course: the high road to happiness.   b. The most positive, diplomatic, or ethical course.

The American Legislative Issue Campaign Exchange (ALICE) defines High Road as high-wage, low-waste, worker-friendly, publicly-accountable economic development.   Alice's website hopes to serve as a collaborative clearinghouse and legislative hub for local activists, organizations, experts and elected officials who want a map and vehicle to take the High Road.   ALICE will share these policy ideas and expose harmful trends, and when possible,  build consensus around key model legislation and core principles.  We will offer a toolbox of practical research documents, including background, case studies and lessons learned. 

ALICE is a collaborative project of the Economic Analysis and Research Network, the Center on Wisconsin Strategy and several other progressive organizations.  During the first year, ALICE was funded as a project of COWS.  The Center on Wisconsin Strategy has enjoyed the past financial support of many generous foundations, including the C.S. Mott, Ford, Joyce, McKay, Rockefeller, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur, and W. Alton Jones foundations.
