Center For Progressive Leadership

Graduates from CPL's programs in Arizona are leading the way for progressive change across the state. CPL alumni are some of the best and brightest progressive leaders in the state working at every level of political change.

Meet the 2009 Arizona Political Leaders Fellows

These leaders represent all of Arizona's communities, both demographically (over half are women and people of color) and geographically, uniting all parts of the state into a powerful community of leaders.

CPL Arizona has trained over 200 leaders through our Fellowship classes and partnership trainings.

They represent individuals who are running organizations, running for office, and running campaigns to advance a progressive agenda in the state.
