Local Progress is a movement of local elected officials advancing a racial and economic justice agenda through all levels of local government. We are elected leaders who build power with underrepresented communities, share bold ideas and policy among our network, and fight to reshape what is possible in our localities all across the country.
Founded in 2012, Local Progress has built a powerful network of more than 1,400 local elected officials in 48 states and DC.
The network includes local leaders at all levels of local government -- mayors, district attorneys, county commissioners, city councilmembers, and school boa
All across the country, local governments are advancing the most innovative policy solutions to our largest problems, and creating new models of governance that work for the many, not just the wealthy and well-connected few.
All across the country, local governments are advancing the most innovative policy solutions to our largest problems, and creating new models of governance that work for the many, not just the wealthy and well-connected few. Our network supports and connects these efforts, catalyzing and accelerating policy change at the local level while creating opportunities for collaboration across our cities. By working together, our members are winning change across local governments and impacting policy and governance outcomes at the state and national level.
