Our #LP2023 national convening was our largest ever with more than 375 electeds, partners, and allies in community across 44 different programs and activities.
We laughed, we cried, and many of us found the clarity or the renewed energy we were looking for ✨
Collective Courage. Collective Power.
The past few days of #LP2023 has been so full of learning, growth, & solidarity.
With this incredible movement alongside us each step of the way, now it's time to take it back to our communities.
Our #LP2023 members are learning from eachother & strategizing on local issues including:
🥊Fighting privitization
📣Bringing an organizer approach to governing
❤️Creating real safety
🏡Implementing rent stabilization
& more!
How do we weild power to build the world we want to live in?
We heard from Jaime Kinder, @MauriceWFP & @DelishiaForNash as they grappled with this big question — highlighting the opportunity we all have to yield collective power TOGETHER.

“We can’t keep talking about abstract systems. We need to return to a love based story about how democracy is…a tool to establish dignity so that the people can lead.” @MauriceWFP @LocalProgress #LP2023
. @stacydavisgates is here! 🌟
“You build power to share it.”
In the midst of a historic wave of labor organizing this summer, local electeds can help build worker power, pass worker protections, & show public solidarity with local workers.

We know that resiliency is key to powering the fight for transformative change in our communities.
Before kicking off the last day of #LP2023, members spent some time this morning grounding themselves & learning critical tools to both build resiliency & care for themselves.
Had such a blast at my first @LocalProgress national convening!
What thrill to be surrounded by fellow progressive local leaders 🧡 #LP2023 #CollectiveCourage #CollectivePower
After a full day of breakouts, our 300+ members, partners, & staff wrapped up by celebrating our theme of #CollectiveCourageCollectivePower and giving a loving goodbye to our outgoing ED, @sarahyjohnson.
We love you Sarah! 💕

Kayla from @ActionSTL on the need for collaborative governance:
"Remember that there was a time that progressives were not a governing majority in these cities across the country... Even when it’s hard, partnership is key. Don’t leave people behind."#LP2023
.@MeganEllyia welcomed us to St. Louis and led a panel diving deep into the rich history of our host city.
"We have a long, overlooked trend of transformative change here in St. Louis... The vision of St. Louis is rooted in activism." #LP2023
Ending the day talking abt building power for reproductive freedom in our post-Roe world with the fab @malloryschwarz of @AbortionAction. We’re so lucky to have her leadership on this here in #MO! @LocalProgress #LP2023

“Our city has led the fight for justice even in the face of overwhelming oppression.” -@saintlouismayor @LocalProgress #LP2023
How do local government officials stay connected to our constituents and the people working on local solutions? That looks different in small cities and towns. I'm getting inspiration and hope from the leaders attending @LocalProgress #LP2023 #RuralPolicyAction
Our rural and small community meetup provides a space for members to connect over their specific local contexts.
⌚ Stay tuned Monday for the release of @DemocracyRural's 2023 Rural Policy Report! #LP2023
