CPF Research Presentation- How a Bill Becomes a Law: Depolarization Legislation

As part of the Center for the Political Future's Unruh Institute POSC 395 Policy Research Internship, students work collaboratively with community partners to develop policy solutions to real world challenges facing the Los Angeles community and state.
For the Fall 2023 semester, CPF POSC 395 Policy Research Internship students examined the 2021 Building Civic Bridges Act by analyzing its pros and cons and the context for its implementation. Students reviewed existing government programs that support strengthening community connections and explored the impact of polarization on American companies. They examined the bill itself to assess objections to its passage and solutions or alternatives that may achieve similar goals through different means. They presented their extensive research and recommendations to our partners, Convergence, Interfaith America, Business for America, and Resolutionaries.
