Our Children Deserve Better.
A statement from our Pride and Women's caucuses in solidarity with the trans children and Queer families under attack right now.

In October, Local Progress attended the Virginia Home Rule Convening, organized by @vahomerule. The event brought together Virginian local elected officials, labor union leaders, community members, academics, and organizations like @the_lssc ready to fight the restrictive Dillon's Rule.
The convening included sessions about the racial origins of Dillon's Rule and how it prohibits local governments from progressing policy that could help shift material conditions for local and state communities.
Local Progress hosted a session on Collaborative Governance and how attendees can work together with local electeds to forward policy solutions that benefit the people they serve. We also talked about our Collaborative Governance Academy as a tool for organizing our members to fight authoritarianism through skill building, connection, and resources.
LP Black Caucus Leadership Committee Co-Chair and Metropolitan Nashville Councilmember @delishiafornash was featured as the keynote speaker, sharing her experience working with her community to support local youth in their efforts to end gun violence.
This was a wonderful beginning of future strategy sessions and more research opportunities to aid in the repealing of Dillon's Rule!

Today’s #NoSecretPolice win comes from Portland, OR! 🌹
This spring, LP members and Portland City Councilors Angelita Morillo, Elana Pirtle-Guiney, and Sameer Kanal led the passage of an ordinance requiring police to show ID and banning them from wearing masks.
When law enforcement hides its identity, communities lose accountability. Portland’s leaders are proving local power can change that.

In the Mile High City of Denver, nearly 40 incredible local leaders gathered from all across the country for our second annual caucus leadership retreat. This week brought together local officials and Local Progress alumni from our identity caucuses to learn, grow, and build ties together. Leaders from the Women’s, Black, Nuestro, and, for the first time, Pride Caucuses came together to discuss threats to our democracy, learn how to stay safe as a local official, and begin to plan the important work of each caucus for the coming years. Read more in our recap blog using the link in our bio.

Last night's election was historic, with Local Progress members winning across the country. While we wait for every vote to be counted, it is clear that people have rejected the politics of hate and have joined our movement's demand for racial and economic justice.
From school board wins in St. Paul, to claiming mayorships in Texas, communities sent a clear message. Across the country, people rejected data center development, stood up for healthcare for all, championed an affordability agenda, and defeated billionaire-backed attacks up and down the ballot.
We take today to celebrate; tomorrow, we start the work of governing. If you're a new local elected gearing up to deliver for the people and get access to resources and a network to make your campaign promises a governing reality, join us today.

Local elected officials have some power to stop data centers from being built when their communities oppose them. From banning development of data centers to regulating utility usage, our friends at @localprogressnetwork have mapped out tactics to help localities fight back against data centers when communities oppose them.

Few people know what it means to stand up to authoritarianism more than Elliott Payne. As President of the Minneapolis City Council, Council Member Payne was on the front lines when ICE invaded his city. As a legislator, @elliottforward1 enacted what legislation he could to bring justice to his city, but it was community defense that made the biggest difference. While the federal government makes threats, local leaders can support local organizing, connect with community groups, and ensure we're prepared to defend local power in the upcoming midterm elections.

Across North Carolina, local officials are sounding the alarm on the proposed constitutional amendments. If passed, these amendments could decimate local budgets, all while making the rich even richer. Read more in our sign-on letter from officials across the state using the link in our bio.

🍎 This month, the School Board Steering Committee gathered in St. Paul, Minnesota to dig deep on school board governance and 2027 planning.
Thanks to Saint Paul Public Schools Board Member @uriahward, we met at the St. Paul Federation of Educators. The steering committee discussed school safety, learned about how they can stay safe as elected officials from Women’s Democracy Lab, and heard from @EducationMinnesota about their work organizing during Operation Metro Surge.
The School Board Steering Committee is united by our dedication to ensuring all students have a quality education. Public schools are the cornerstones of our communities, where students learn how to be active participants in our democracy!

Community organizing is the first line of defense against rising authoritarianism. When ICE came from @tiffany_caban's neighbors, she used her office and legislative powers to ensure community defense was more than just a slogan but a political reality. With the midterm elections right around the corner, connecting community organizers to resources and support is an easy way to use your office to bolster community protection while the federal government threatens our communities.

"Today, we mourn the loss of Dolores Huerta, a fearless labor leader, civil rights activist, and champion for working families. On behalf of the Local Progress Nuestro Caucus and as a Mexican-American leader of our network of local electeds advancing racial and economic justice, we honor her legacy of organizing, courage, and fighting for dignity, justice, and the rights of all our communities. Her life reminds us that every voice matters and every generation must continue the fight for justice. Her legacy lives on in all of us who continue to organize, agitate, and show up for our communities. ¡Sí, se puede!" -- Ivan Luevanos-Elms, Executive Director, Local Progress + Local Progress Impact Lab

The consensus across the country is clear: people don't want data centers in their backyards. But when a project comes to your doorstep, fighting the billionaire propaganda and Big Tech's team of lobbyists can be difficult. Thanks to the help of @concejalestrada , @amber4thepeople, and @cityrepacevedo - Local Progress has broken down the strategies, narratives, and tools you need to resist the #BillionaireBuildout. If you want to learn more, check out the link in our bio for the link to our full resource: No Buildout for Billionaires.
