PDA Makes Sure Your Voice Is Heard

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) organized with our California partners PDA-CA at last weekend’s California Democratic Party Convention. The PDA Booth was abuzz with activity. We spearheaded a number of campaigns including Medicare for All (MFA), Housing as a Human Right, Bernie Sanders for President, and every progressive position under the sun—all while recruiting legions of progressive Californians to the PDA team.

In Florida, PDA worked with our coalition partners to pass a St. Petersburg City Council resolution in support of Medicare For All!

Last month, PDA activists voted overwhelmingly to support impeachment investigations against Trump. Please click here to email your congressperson in support of Representative Rashida Tlaib’s Impeachment investigations resolution.

Trump vetoed a joint congressional resolution that would end U.S. support for Saudi war crimes in Yemen. The resolution was authored by Senator Bernie Sanders in the Senate and Representative Ro Khanna in the House. PDA supported this effort to reassert Congressional constitutional authority over war and peace, and especially to end the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Please click here to tell Congress to override Trump’s veto.

Long after hurricanes ravaged their homes, our sisters and brothers in the Caribbean remain in peril. Please take action now! Click here to tell Congress to help the people of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
