State Chapters
A Local Progress state chapter is a statewide organization of Local Progress members with a formal leadership structure, a robust and representative membership, and typically a goal to raise money to hire staff capacity locally. State chapter development and certification is approved by Local Progress’ national board.
We currently have fully certified chapters in New York, Texas, and North Carolina and Minnesota.
Organizing Within a State
As Local Progress continues to deepen our work in more states, we have a variety of ways we can build our infrastructure to meet the needs of local elected officials and community partners. From caucuses within a single legislative body to metro regional cohorts, we help build informal meeting spaces for LP members to connect and organize together.
We are currently supporting statewide organizing in Florida, California, Colorado, and Pennsylvania.
