Why Is The Organization's Name Changing?
We are the Alexandria People's Assembly, formerly known as PLTI of Alexandria. There are a number of reasons why we've changed our name, not the least being no one could ever remember the acronym. Our new name reflects the shift in our focus while encompassing the original mission to train parents advocates. The Alexandria People's Assembly is building community and empowering advocacy with our alumni, their children, neighbors, and you.
