Whether we live in a big city or a small rural town, none of us want masked secret police ruthlessly scouring our streets. It's #BraveofUS to stand up to protect our neighbors. https://t.co/m3v17KQmOQ

In Chicago, student attendance plummeted on days with increased ICE activity. With students and families terrified to leave their homes, it's #BraveofUS to step up and offer safe passage. https://t.co/agbrFuRbkp

As our network looks forward, @jeremiah4north reminded us in the conversation that while our opponent's imagination is endless, our movement too often places limitations on ourselves for what's possible. Let 2026 be the year where nothing holds back our movement for change!

2025 has been a tough year. From budget cuts to threats of arrest, the work of local officials has never been more challenging. At our National Convening, LP Staffer @sidesmichaelw spoke with a few members to hear firsthand about the impacts of this year. https://t.co/juMP9e2BDm

Co chair @CMShahanaHanif thanks the protestors who stood with our immigrant neighbors yesterday We keep us safe

ICE is a lawless agency that ignores Federal judges, disregards their rulings and disappears people into distant horrible detention facilities. NYPD should not be macing New Yorkers who are defending our city against rogue xenophobic masked kidnappers.

My Fair Work Week law (passed in @NYCCouncil in 2017) requires fast-food restaurants to give workers stable schedules, advance notice & pathways to full-time jobs. Starbucks has cheated 15,000 baristas — and now, finally, they’re going to have to pay up. Props

Federal agents and local police who refuse to comply with city ordinances must face consequences. No exceptions. Solidarity with our members @JChavezMpls,@ElliottForWard1, and @robin4mpls for holding the line and demanding accountability in Minneapolis! https://t.co/DkRFbzvb0q

“The way that our police officers showed up today was abhorrent. What I witnessed was they secured the scene for federal agents and helped clear the way for them to leave with this person.” - St. Paul City Council Member Hwa Jeong Kim https://t.co/QSKF7uf005

The Trump Admin's secret police are using harmful surveillance technology to spy on us and track our whereabouts. Right now, local governments are the last line of defense for residents’ right to privacy and safety in an era of authoritarianism. https://t.co/qIBq5G3Hge

How are movement organizers resisting rising authoritarianism under the Trump administration? At @LocalProgress's largest convening yet, over 500 local officials met in Chicago to strategize on defending communities and advancing progressive policy. https://t.co/hOvTvR6iDP

We just had a raid in St. Paul where SPPD helped, refused to identify themselves, and used rubber bullets and chemical deterrents on concerned community members, in the vicinity of our schools and rec centers. These violent raids rip apart families and endanger communities.

Let's be clear: Saint Paul is a sanctuary city. And yet, the Saint Paul Police Department was present -- helping ICE terrorize and brutalize our neighbors. Our local law enforcement should NOT be supporting this gross federal overreach or these lawless kidnappings.

The Trump Admin sent secret police to Saint Paul, MN to terrorize our neighbors, sow fear, and divide all of us. We're sending power, strength, and resolve to our members who are literally putting their bodies on the line to protect their neighbors. https://t.co/7EhSbvwuRP

Congrats to @ljgong on joining the Mamdani Mayoral Transition! LiJia has been an invaluable part of LP, working with members to navigate complex, legal situations. We know her skills will be put to good use, making NYC more affordable and just for all! https://t.co/jHBVjJ0wt0

“For all of these federal officials who think this is the American way, it is absolutely not the American way. The American way is to stand up for your neighbor.” - @Javiera4Durham https://t.co/lzBCAaP76b

I'm proud to be part of @LocalProgress, a movement of local elected officials advancing racial and economic justice in cities and towns across the country. We support one another, share ideas, and lead on policies that make a difference in the lives of working families.

I am immensely thankful be a part of @LocalProgress, a movement of local elected officials advancing a racial and economic justice agenda through all levels of local government. We build power with underrepresented communities, share bold ideas and policy among our network, and

With a wave of new leaders joining our movement, LP is proud to share the final #LocalStory video of the year. This video shows just a part of the incredible stories of organizing and community service that brought so many of our leaders into government and our network.
