Policy Memo
AT A GLANCE
Local Progress California (LPCA) is organizing across the state to drive progressive change. From school boards and city councils to mayors’ offices and county commissions, we are working to advance equity and justice through all levels of local government.
LPCA currently has more than 210 members, representing 137 jurisdictions.
Our Work & Priorities
Right now, we are in the process of building out the infrastructure to establish a state chapter – with a formal leadership structure and a robust membership – that will be the foundation for statewide organizing and advocacy to come!
Organizing Committee
As a member-led network, our state work is led by an incredible state organizing committee – a group of LPCA members that meet regularly to weigh in on policy priorities, propose statewide campaigns, and drive the strategic vision for our work.
