Weekly Recap: Equality For All Means All

In solidarity,  Mike Hersh for Alan, Shayna, Deb, Kimberly, Bryan, Mike F., Dr. Bill, Dan, and Janis—your PDA national team.

Tell Congress We Demand Equality
Including Full Reproductive Choice!

Last week, Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) activists rocked the California Democratic Convention, rallied for Medicare For All and packed the Ways and Means hearing room—then helped organize two webinars to gain support for MFA, supported Bernie Sanders at his historic speech, announced our endorsement of two highly qualified progressives for Congress, and continued mobilizing for progress on several important issues!

This week, we need your time, effort, and generous support to keep pushing for progress. PDA invites you to contact Congress to demand equality for all and accountability for Trump, plus voice your support for Medicare For All, preventing gun violence, ending war—and more!

TELL CONGRESS: PASS LEGISLATION TO PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE: Extremist politicians have been waiting for an opportunity to undermine Roe v. Wade since it was decided in 1973. Several states have signed unconstitutional abortion bans. Click Here to tell Congress to prohibit any government entity from denying, interfering with, or discriminating against reproductive choice.

Pitch In To Help Keep PDA Organizing

Tell Congress To Protect Reproductive Choice!

PDA is committed to guaranteeing equality for all. We were among the first national organizations to endorse the “Three State Strategy” for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). We helped organize support for the ERA on Capitol Hill and various unratified states and now we’re just one state away from ratification. Click Here to tell your Representative and Senators to cosponsor the joint congressional resolutions to guarantee equality under the law.

This past Wednesday, the House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing on healthcare reform, including the Medicare For All Act. The hearing went amazingly well, thanks to organizing by our powerful Medicare For All working group! Help PDA gain cosponsors for the House MFA bill and Senate legislation.

MFA will provide healthcare for all of us, with no out-of-pocket expenses: no premiums, co-pays, cap, or deductibles. Complete care, including, mental, dental, vision, prescriptions, medical devices, preventative, women’s health, long-term care, and more that will save 10,000s of U.S. lives and 100s of $billions each year.

Call Congress at 202-858-1717 and Click Here to tell your Representative to Cosponsor Rep. Jayapal’s and Rep. Debbie Dingell’s Medicare For All Act. Also, Click Here to tell your Senators to cosponsor Sen. Bernie Sanders’s MFA bill.
