AT A GLANCE
Local Progress Pennsylvania (LPPA) organizes local elected officials across the state to share best practices and policy solutions that make people’s lives better.

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! We elevate the role and voices of progressive electeds bringing community-driven change and more resources to our municipalities and our state.
