Defy Trump! Support Opposition!
Tell Congress To Investigate Trump

This week, 20 Democratic candidates vied to challenge Trump in two nights of debates. Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) activists overwhelmingly voted to endorse Bernie Sanders, and so we did. However, it was abundantly clear that every single candidate on the debate stage in Miami would be far superior to Trump.

As Trump increases his reckless rampage, PDA is leading efforts to hold him accountable. Please Click Here to tell your congressperson to support Representative Rashida Tlaib’s Impeachment investigations resolution.

We applaud Bernie’s campaign platform which is rooted in the legacies of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Martin Luther King, Jr. PDA is mobilizing Bernie supporters with our We Want Bernie campaign. Click Here to contact Mike Fox and get involved with our regular organizing calls, events, and other efforts.

Not a Bernie supporter? No worries. We’re always working on Healthcare Not Warfare, Windmills Not Weapons, and defying the Trump Regime at every turn. If you’d like to volunteer for those campaigns, let Mike Fox know. In any case, join PDA mobilizing to defy Trump’s and organizing for progress!
