#50YearsOfHarm: Rep. Ro Khanna & Lisa Graves Call Out ALEC

Season 4 Episode 426 | 26m 46s

Many people have never heard of the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC – but for 50 years, the group has been the driving force behind some of the most extreme policies in this country. Guests Rep. Ro Khanna & Lisa Graves say ALEC and its wealthy pool of funders are a real threat, but there are ways to take action and progress has already been made.
