Male Policy Action Project
Aug. 14, 2026
We are a nonpartisan alliance of legislators and advocates working on the passage of state and local laws designed to improve outcomes for boys, men and those who care about them.
We are devoted to systematically learning what works to serve boys and men through policy reform and quickly scaling success.
- Monthly trainings. Featuring national technical policy experts focused on tactics for getting laws passed, changing culture and building community.
- Model Legislation Library. No more re-inventing the wheel. A free trove of polished model bills with legislative language, fiscal notes, research summaries, FAQs and talking points.
- “Copy This Law” program. A repository of successfully passed and implemented boy/men/fatherhood policies and a strategy for actively recruiting legislators throughout the country.
- State Boys and Men Commissions campaign. A national effort to establish permanent boys-and-men commissions, offices or councils in all 50 states and beyond. A turnkey resource for elected officials and advocates.
