At a time when local leadership is under threat and democracy is being tested, our cities — and our Mayors — need strong partners more than ever.
Your partnership through the DMA Alliance ensures that Mayors have the resources, relationships, innovation, and support they need to meet this moment.
Mayors govern where people live — and they deliver results.
Across the country, Democratic Mayors are proving that local leadership works:
Crime is dropping in Democratic-led cities as Mayors put smart, community-driven safety strategies to work.
Housing affordability is being tackled head-on through bold, innovative policies that expand access and protect working families.
Transportation is being transformed with once-in-a-generation investments, rebuilding infrastructure and powering economic growth for decades to come.

Through our Mayors Alliance program, we connect Democratic Mayors with leaders from the private sector, organized labor, advocacy groups, and partner organizations to build relationships, share ideas, and take on the most pressing challenges facing America’s cities.
Together with our Alliance Members, we elevate best practices, advocate for better policies, and accelerate innovation in cities nationwide. We speak to the real impact of policy choices — how decisions made in Washington affect people in their neighborhoods — and we amplify solutions that deliver for working families.
Strong partnerships make strong cities. By joining the Alliance, our partners help ensure Democratic Mayors have the tools, networks, and support they need to lead America forward.

Defending Local Leadership: Mayors need strong partners to defend local authority at a time when Republicans are deploying hostile efforts that threaten our cities and our residents.
Democracy on the Ballot: With national politics in turmoil, Democratic Mayoral leadership is a stabilizing and unifying force building prosperous communities.
The DMA Labor Council brings Democratic Mayors and Labor leaders together to strengthen workers’ rights, advance fair wages, and build thriving local economies.
The Democratic Mayors Association’s Labor Council is a forum where Mayors and union leaders collaborate on policies that put working families first. From collective bargaining rights to workforce development, the Council works to ensure that cities remain engines of opportunity and fairness.
Together, we highlight successful city–labor partnerships, share strategies for creating good-paying union jobs, and advocate for stronger worker protections at the local, state, and federal levels. By connecting Mayors with America’s workers, the Labor Council ensures that cities remain places where prosperity is shared and communities are strengthened.

“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Democratic Mayors Association’s (DMA) earnest leadership demonstrates a knowledgeable base that showcases, elevates, and utilizes a unified kinship across diverse communities and perspectives. DMA fosters a space where local elected officials and their allies can unify behind the common threads of issues among various movements for social justice. DMA leverages its members’ relationships by providing an anchor in the present to address immediate challenges. Simultaneously, they look beyond to the future that all of their partners are invested in creating by fostering proactive spaces to cultivate innovative ideas, connections, and perspectives to ensure a united front from which local communities will be heard nationwide.”
