Overview
The Labor & Worklife Program (LWP) is Harvard Law School’s center for research, teaching, and creative problem solving related to work and its implications for society. LWP has launched the Clean Slate Project to build and implement policy recommendations to reconstruct labor law in order to rebalance our economy and politics. The recommendations will be released to the public generally for educational and informational purposes. The Clean Slate Project starts from problems of economic and political inequality that we need to solve. The Project will (a) identify legal mechanisms that can address those problems; (b) create fellowships to support innovative organizing campaigns and feed learnings from the grassroots into our policy recommendations; (c) build a campaign to support change at the federal level in the long term; and (d) support grants to catalyze adoption of innovative policies at the state and local level in the near term.

Grants to this Grantee
For a political economy conference
The Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation at Harvard University seeks to address threats to American and global democracies with research and field-building in support of robust political equality, fully inclusive institutions, and broader avenues for participation and connectedness, all of which rest on the material and social bases for human flourishing. This grant will support a major multidisciplinary conference to spotlight the new paradigm for political economy to replace neoliberalism that has emerged through the work of many scholars around the globe over many years. The event will bring together scholars, policymakers, journalists and storytellers, and practitioners to lay out, interrogate, and explore the new paradigm and its application to the most pressing policy challenges of our time.
for The People Lab
The People Lab aims to empower the public sector by producing cutting-edge research on the people of government and the communities they are called to serve. The lab studies, designs, and tests strategies to solve urgent public sector challenges in three core areas: strengthening the workforce, improving resident-government interactions, and reimagining evidence-based policymaking.

for Economics for Inclusive Prosperity
Economics for Inclusive Prosperity is a network of academic economists committed to an inclusive economy and society. It is based on the belief that contemporary economics research is rife with new ideas for creating a more inclusive society, but it is up to economists to convince the world this is true. Toward that end, the network members develop and discuss policy ideas based on sound scholarship, with the goal of reaching not just other academics but also a wider audience including students, writers, and policymakers.
