Pennsylvania
From school boards to county executives to mayors and councilmembers, we are winning progressive change and building a more just Pennsylvania through collaborative governance models with community partners across all levels of local government.

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. 

LPPA currently has more than 66 members, representing 33 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! We elevate the role and voices of progressive electeds bringing community-driven change and more resources to our municipalities and our state.

Organizing Committee

As a member-led network, our state work is led by an incredible state organizing committee – a group of LPPA members that meet regularly to weigh in on policy priorities, propose statewide campaigns, and drive the strategic vision for our work.

We’ll be announcing our Organizing Committee soon – so stay tuned!
