Restoring Local LEADERSHIP to CaliforniA

A statewide coalition advancing practical, community-driven solutions for housing, governance, and growth.

LOCAL STEWARDSHIP - LoCAL CONTEXT - LOCAL EQUITY

Across California, local advocates, elected leaders, and policy experts are uniting around one principle: decisions made closest to the people—made with care—produce the best outcomes.

Together, we’re developing coordinated strategies that strengthen communities, protect opportunity, and rebuild trust in governance.

LOCAL STEWARDSHIP

Local Stewardship means decisions made closest to the people—made with care—produce the best outcomes.

It’s the ethic that communities, not distant agencies, are best equipped to guide growth, protect character, and sustain opportunity.

LOCAL CONTEXT

Local Context means every community is unique—its geography, infrastructure, and history define what is possible.

Policy grounded in local knowledge creates solutions that fit the ground they serve, not one-size-fits-all mandates from afar.

LOCAL EQUITY

Local Equity protects the opportunity for people to build and remain in the communities they call home.

It resists extractive models that transfer wealth and control away from neighborhoods, ensuring that the next generation can build homeownership and stability where they grew up.
