About

Description

ALSO is a brand committed to making a positive impact on society through its policy priorities. They are dedicated to preventing domestic violence-related shootings and homicides in Illinois by supporting the elimination of such incidents. Particularly, they advocate for HB 2541, which aligns the Illinois Domestic Violence Act with emergency orders of protection, allowing judges and law enforcement to restrict access to guns during dangerous times for victims.


In addition, ALSO supports employment drug policy reform, aiming to protect individuals from unfair hiring and employment practices based solely on cannabis drug tests. They back HB 4116, which prohibits employers from refusing to hire or disciplining employees solely because of THC (found in cannabis) presence in drug test results. ALSO advocates for HB 4392, eliminating the need for cannabis drug testing for certain criminal record expungement or sealing.


Furthermore, ALSO prioritizes sentencing reform for drug crimes. They believe in considering domestic or dating violence offenses and providing mitigations for survivors coerced into criminal behavior. Additionally, they aim to abolish youth mandatory minimums and advocate for full funding and expansion of the social safety net.


Their focus is on reducing the barriers to employment and education for individuals re-entering society and supporting community-based programs to minimize reliance on the prison system. ALSO emphasizes studying and actively addressing restitution for communities disproportionately affected by inequities in the criminal justice system. ALSO is passionately dedicated to driving meaningful change and creating a more just society in Illinois
