PDA has been leading the effort to hold Trump accountable. Join PDA as we support impeachment. Our coalition petition explains:

“Donald Trump betrayed his oath of office, our national security, and the integrity of our elections. He has shown a lack of moral fortitude and fitness for the office of President: repeatedly violating the emoluments clause, demonstrating contempt of Congress, and consistently engaging in obstruction of justice. It’s time to end this era of lawlessness and corruption.”

Help Americans of All Ages Declare Independence From Debt

PDA is working with a powerful coalition on a growing campaign to Cancel Student Debt. Tell Your Senators to Cosponsor The College For All Act of 2019 (S.1947). Also, Tell Your Rep. to Cosponsor The Student Debt Cancellation Act (H.R.3448). Please Pitch in to support PDA’s Cancel Student Debt Action Fund.

PDA’s Executive Director Alan Minsky reports, “Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Ilhan Omar introduced legislation to cancel all outstanding student debt; their bills compliment parallel legislation that would make all public state and community colleges tuition free.”

Alan explains, ”If passed, these bills would solve a massive crisis that has been suffocating the American economy and burdening the lives of 45 million working and middle class Americans.”

PDA is organizing for progressive victories, including incumbent champions like Rashida Tlaib and exciting challengers like Betsy Sweet.

The fight for Net Neutrality is not over! Although a federal court upheld the FCC’s repeal of Obama-era rules, States can set their own net neutrality laws!

As John Nichols’ article in The Nation “It’s Time to Fight Trump’s Assault on Net Neutrality” points out: “The courts won’t reverse Trump’s FCC. But the states, Congress, and presidential candidates can act to preserve a free and open Internet.” Now, it’s up to us. Tell Congress We Demand Net Neutrality!

Please join PDA demanding progress. Get involved! Click Here to contact Mike Fox and he’ll get active with PDA’s Medicare For All, Impeachment, Climate Emergency, and other organizing.
