Champions of Change Baton Rouge: How Policy Really Gets Made

Champions of Change Baton Rouge
How Policy Really Gets Made
Featuring Dr. Robert Malone & Noah Wall
From scientific authority to statehouse policy—discover how ideas move, who shapes them, and why it matters.
Most people believe laws are written by elected officials. In reality, policy often begins long before a bill is filed—developed through networks of institutions, experts, and organizations that shape the ideas, language, and frameworks lawmakers rely on.
At this special Baton Rouge event, you’ll hear from two speakers who illuminate this process from different—but deeply connected—angles.
Dr. Robert Malone brings a scientist’s perspective on how expertise, authority, and public health decisions are translated into policy—raising critical questions about informed consent, medical ethics, and the balance between institutional power and individual rights.
Noah Wall examines how policy is developed, packaged, and distributed across all 50 states—often moving in coordinated ways through trusted associations and professional networks.
Together, they offer a rare look at how influence flows through modern governance and what that means for transparency, accountability, and ultimately, individual liberty. If you’ve ever wondered why the same ideas seem to appear in multiple states at once, or how complex policies move so quickly through the system, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
About our Speakers
Robert W. Malone, MD
Our Keynote Speaker, Dr. Robert W. Malone, is a physician and early contributor to mRNA vaccine technology, who helped lay the groundwork for one of the most significant biomedical advances of the modern era. His early research demonstrated the feasibility of using messenger RNA to direct cellular protein production—an approach now central to a new generation of vaccines and therapeutics.
With a career spanning decades in biotechnology, clinical research, and public health, Dr. Malone has advised on vaccine development, biodefense, and infectious disease response. In recent years, his work has increasingly focused on the intersection of science, public policy, and individual rights—particularly around informed consent, medical ethics, and the role of government in healthcare decision-making.
Drawing on both scientific and policy experience, Dr. Malone offers insight into how medical and scientific authority is translated into public policy—and how those decisions shape the relationship between institutions and the individuals they serve.
Noah Wall
Noah Wall works with the State Leadership Initiative, where he studies how policy is developed, packaged, and distributed across state governments.
His work focuses on the role of national and state-level associations, professional organizations, and policy networks that provide lawmakers with model legislation, regulatory frameworks, and institutional guidance. Because these groups are widely viewed as trusted authorities, their recommendations often carry significant influence in legislative and administrative decision-making.
Wall examines how these networks shape outcomes across multiple states simultaneously—often standardizing policy approaches in ways that are not immediately visible to the public. His work equips policymakers, advocates, and engaged citizens with a clearer understanding of where policy originates, how it spreads, and why it so often moves in coordinated ways across states.
