"When Trump and his lackeys attack elected officials, they are attacking us and our chosen representatives. Disenfranchisement doesn’t just happen at the ballot box," write Ivan Luevanos-Elms (he/el) 🏳️‍🌈🇲🇽🇺🇸 of @LocalProgess and @SarahYJohnson of Working Families Party 🐺. couriernewsroom.com/news/ivan-luev…

The Trump Admin’s new travel ban is an unlawful, racist, Islamophobic, and xenophobic policy that will rip families apart and put our communities in grave danger. We are devastated, afraid, and furious. But we are not backing down. Full statement: localprog.org/NoRacistTravel…

The arrest of the SEIU CA President & protesters is a disgrace to our country — and part of a terrifying trend local electeds have also been facing. We stand for First Amendment rights. We stand for democracy. We stand with David Huerta & call for his immediate release.

Re: Today's ICE Raids in the City of LA As City Controller, we will be formally requesting information from the LAPD to determine the financial impact these ICE raids have had in using City resources, such as the LAPD’s involvement and response to the resulting demonstrations.

We are horrified at the targeted political assasination of MN elected officials, former Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and the attempt on the lives of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. Our full statement: localprog.org/MourningMeliss…

My dear friend and colleague Comptroller Brad Lander was just violently detained by masked ICE officers while escorting folks out of immigration court. This is disgusting and horrific. He must be released immediately.

Comptroller Brad Lander was just wrongfully arrested by ICE for standing up for an immigrant also wrongfully detained. This is fascism—plain and simple. Enabled by a spineless Mayor and a lawless President. I’m on my way to immigration court. Release Brad now. Release them all.

As ICE disappears our neighbors, LP leader Brad Lander has been regularly escorting immigrants to their check-ins. Today, in a continuing and troubling trend of intimidation against local officials, ICE arrested him and is currently in custody. We demand his immediate release.

Brad has been a principled local official for over a decade now and one of the founding members of Local Progress. He is one of many reasons our org exists to today and beyond being a member, many consider him to be a friend and mentor. We stand in solidarity with you, Brad.

Auditors & comptrollers stick together, standing up for our values and defending the public trust. Proud to join Dorcey Applyrs March Gallagher & Dan Aymar-Blair in standing with our friend and colleague Brad Lander

I had a fantastic time at @localprogress’s national convening. I met with fellow local elected officials from across the United States to learn about their work and share all the amazing things we’re doing together here in Philly. At a time of partisan gridlock in Washington, it

This past weekend, we held our ⚡️ 2025 LP National Convening ⚡️ in Chicago! We hosted 500+ local leaders and partners for an incredible three days of connection, strategy, and collective learning. More to come, but for now, we are basking in hope, joy, and gratitude 💖

Our theme this year was "Organize Together. Govern For All." As the Trump Administration continues to deliberately harm our communities, it is more important than ever to organize together so that we can use our governing power to uplift and protect all our communities.

From strategy sessions and community building, to site visits and state chapter meetups - our first two days were jam packed! Together, with over 500 attendees from across the country, we learned how to build power, share space, and stand up for our shared values.

I'm still reflecting on the power and energy of this year’s Local Progress National Convening. Being among 500 brave and progressive leaders from all over the country, all dedicated to advocating for equity and justice in their communities, was truly inspiring. I connected with
