FAQ

Is AltReform free to use?

Yes. All state reform profiles, scoring data, and research library content is free to access, forever. We believe data equality is part of justice reform.

How can I use AltReform data in my work?

All AltReform data is available for use in policy advocacy, legal defense work, academic research, and journalism. We ask only for attribution. Email us for formal data use agreements.

Can I submit a reform initiative for scoring?

Yes. Public defenders, advocates, and policy researchers can submit proposed reforms for scoring. Our team reviews submissions monthly. Use the contact form or email info@altreform.org.

How do I become a community partner?

Organizations can apply for partner status on this page. Partners get API access to our scoring data, co-branded advocacy materials, and priority access to new features.

Is AltReform nonpartisan?

Yes. We score reforms by outcome data, not ideology. Reforms pass or fail based on evidence, not on who proposed them or what coalition supports them.
