A mapping tool developed by the Local Solutions Support Center brings together research from Grounded Solutions Network, the Partnership for Working Families, the Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC), the National Fair Housing Alliance, and the Urban Law Center, to document state preemption of inclusive and equitable local housing policies.

The New Republic published an article entitled “How Red States Stifle Blue Cities” on September 26, 2018 about how Republican statehouses have passed a raft of preemption bills to prevent cities from raising the minimum wage, strengthening gun control, and more.

The LSSC partnered with the National League of Cities to place a joint op/ed, Let the Mayors Lead, co-authored by Brooks Rainwater, Director of the Center for City Solutions and Nestor Davidson, Director of Fordham University’s Urban Law Center.
