Not only are most of your proposals spot on, but people who fancy themselves in the business of achieving social justice would do well to switch over from activism to providing ‘technically do-able’ policy proposals. That said I do have one criticism of your site. It would surely be difficult, but I think it would lend Policy Proposals a lot of credit if you did a section giving a short history or a detailed run down of how policies, legislation, reforms, and bills are thought up, proposed, and signed into practice in the real world. I think people tend to assume change is impossible, but the government is changing policy all of the time and putting programs into practice; it would be helpful to have an explanation or reminder of how that happens.
