ECONOMIC JUSTICE
Everyone deserves safe jobs and family sustaining wages. At the local level, we can win safer workplaces, higher wages, and better benefits for all.
Home Rule
Local governments need home rule authority to address the pressing problems facing their communities. New abusive state preemption suppresses local organizing for our agenda for racial & economic justice.
HOUSING
Housing is an essential need. Across the country, localities are working to advance renter protections, increase affordable housing, and build thriving neighborhoods.
IMMIGRANT JUSTICE
We’re fighting for a country that honors all families by protecting undocumented communities and ensuring they have access to the resources they need.
Leveraging Federal Resources
Local governments have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to leverage historic federal funding to advance racial, economic, and climate justice.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Everyone deserves to feel and be safe. Across the country, localities can build real safety by investing in communities and addressing the root causes of instability.
SCHOOL BOARDS
Thriving public schools are the bedrock of a just, multiracial society. With roughly 15,000 school districts in the US, the opportunity & necessity to organize behind a common agenda is clear.
