Investigations and initiatives
These projects address problems Rhode Islanders face: high rents, financial insecurity, reproductive harm, neglected energy research, unanswered public questions, and difficulty getting help from state government.
Six projects now under development
Rental Continuity, Reproductive Justice, and Women’s Wealth Building are policy proposals. The Tesla Dome project combines a records inquiry with a technical research proposal. The Algae Biofuel initiative asks whether historical dark-cultivation results can be reproduced and combined with later high-hydrocarbon strains. Ask Hope is a proposed public-service tool.
None should be accepted on faith. Each should be tested against the evidence, the law, its cost, and whether it would actually help Rhode Islanders.
Six active initiatives
The hub keeps every project together while each initiative retains its own detailed page, documents, and supporting material.

Rhode Island’s Citizen AG Assistant
A public-service AI designed to help residents find the right agency, understand sourced information, organize their facts, and prepare clear written requests.
Explore the Citizen AG Assistant →A better front door to government
Identify the correct state or local office and explain the next step in plain language.
Provide source-linked answers with the governing page, rule, statute, form, or published procedure.
Help draft records requests, complaints, appeals, letters, evidence lists, and requests for assistance.
Recognize urgent or individualized matters and direct the resident to an appropriate trained human.
Built for trust: visible sources, verification dates, privacy protections, downloadable records, and a clear distinction between general assistance and individualized legal representation.
How Alan would evaluate each proposal
The subjects are different, but the test is the same.
Identify the problem, publish the sources, test the claim, and revise the proposal when the facts require it.
Judge the proposal from the resident’s point of view, including its cost, accessibility, and practical results.
No favored party, institution, industry, or class. The same legal and ethical standard should apply to everyone.
Comments and criticism are welcome
The campaign welcomes corrections, contrary evidence, and practical suggestions that would make these ideas stronger.
