Colorado
We organize across Colorado to advance a racial and economic justice agenda through all levels of local government in the state.

AT A GLANCE

Local Progress Colorado (LPCO) organizes local elected officials across the state, driving progressive change through collaborative governance with communities and local partners. 

LPCO currently has more than 64 members, representing 32 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 LPCO members that meet regularly to weigh in on policy priorities, propose statewide campaigns, and drive the strategic vision for our work:
