Lancaster Stands Up is a progressive organization that works to build independent political power for the people of Lancaster. For too long, our local government has prioritized the wants of the wealthy over the needs of everyday citizens, and it’s time for that to change.
We need a world where everyone can thrive, regardless of race, place, or class. Lancaster Stands Up is building that future by electing working-class champions and conducting issue campaigns that pressure local officials to stand up for their constituents.
The story of Lancaster Stands Up is a story about everyday people getting involved—even if it’s just two hours a week—and building the grassroots force we need to revitalize our democracy.
Our Values
At Lancaster Stands Up, we believe:
- Every human being has the right to live a dignified life, regardless of their race, place, or class.
- We “punch up” at the billionaires destroying our communities. We don’t “punch down” at people like us.
- Both Democrats and Republicans have failed us. We need independent political power to affect real change for regular people.
