Who We Are, Together
At People of Progression, many of us are survivors—and that lived experience guides everything we do. We are advocates, organizers, healers, and community members who walk alongside others with compassion, accountability, and purpose. This work is collective, rooted in shared struggle and shared possibility, and grounded in a belief that safety, access, and justice are built together. Meet the people moving this work forward—side by side with our community.
