Cities for Progress is a project of the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C. They are a growing network of locally-elected officials and community-based activists working together for social change. They are a network that incorporates local, national and global approaches to issues that affect them in their own communities.

Following in the footsteps of Cities for Peace local resolutions prior to the Iraq war in which almost 200 cities and towns expressed their concerns about local costs of such a war, Cities for Progress is taking on other issues including Universal Healthcare and opposing Wal-Mart expansion.
