Michelson Center for Public Policy
We at the Michelson Center for Public Policy believe that government is the great lever of change to catalyze sustainable, scalable, and replicable solutions. And so, we leverage our passion and resources to uplift disadvantaged communities by ensuring that important topics of conversation arrive and stay at the forefront of local, state, and national policy.
Issues We Support
Education & Equity
A history of systemic and financial barriers has stunted college students' abilities to stay enrolled, graduate, and utilize their degrees to improve their quality of life. Students face obstacles including publishing cartels limiting their ability to access education resources, internet service providers' limitations to broadband access, and the increasing burden on all students - regardless of their history - to be housed and healthy.
The Michelson Center for Public Policy will utilize its influence and leverage to work with government agencies and pass legislation to combat this inequities.
Medical Research
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the critical need to invest in medical research, healthcare, and treatment reforms that encourage scientific collaboration, fuel disruptive thinking, and accelerate the translation of innovative ideas from the laboratory into real vaccines and treatments that can be accessed by patients.
The Michelson Center for Public Policy works with policymakers to meet these goals by advocating for policies that expand the National Institutes for Health, support early career researchers, and modernize the Food and Drug Administration.
Animal Welfare
Animals are a truly voiceless population. They intersect with communities at every sector - companion animals, wildlife, farm animals - and their well-being is largely predicated on the rules, regulations, and norms set forth by humans. It is our responsibility to consider animal welfare and protection at every intersection in our lives.
The Michelson Center for Public Policy champions lifesaving efforts, prevention of cruelty, and protection of our animal communities by supporting elected offices who craft lifesaving animal welfare legislation and working with government agencies to enact responsible public policy.
