The Democratic Presidential Debates Must Address Poverty

We Need To Address Poverty In The Debates

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) chose economic and social justice as one of our top priorities at our launch fifteen years ago. We’ve worked with top activists ever since to address poverty. Please support this effort by signing a petition calling on the DNC and cable news networks to prioritize questions on the crisis of poverty, housing, and hunger.

Sign The Petition Demand Questions On Poverty

After two rounds of “debate” in the Democratic primary race, it’s way past time to have a discussion about the economic elephant in the room, and one of the most pressing issues of our times: the epidemic levels of poverty in the United States.

Please join us in calling on the Democratic National Committee and the News Networkshosting televised Democratic Party primary debates to prioritize questions on the crisis of poverty, housing, and hunger in the United States; and to ensure that the voices and concerns of the poorest Americans are being heard at this critically important moment for our democracy.
