First, we thank you so much if you were active with us over the past week. Your efforts are vital as we attempt to turn this ship around.

Another week of MAGA insanity — especially around the budget. But we were especially appalled at the shootings in DC. State-sanctioned violence against individuals and groups of people is abhorrent. Political violence and vigilantism are not acceptable in any measure. PDA condemns the senseless murder of Israeli embassy staffers, even as we also vehemently oppose the Netanyahu administration’s brutal persecution of Palestinians.

We will continue to support peace and justice around the globe and here in the US, over the upcoming week. On the phones, at the doors, in the streets, in the suites, and on social media, organizing neighborhood by neighborhood, we’ll continue building the movement required to bring about real change, and keep our endangered communities safe.

We’ve been fighting for social, economic, environmental, and racial justice, peace, democracy, and the rule of law for over 20 years, and we’ll continue to build the movement, seven days a week, with special focus on the “No Kings” events nationwide on June 14th.

Please join us this week. You can make a real difference!

1) Progressive Virtual Town Hall Sunday: Working Through Challenging Times, Together. Join us as we discuss news of the day and lay out organizing strategies working across the country with our Special Guest Nina Turner. We look forward to your input. You’ll leave energized, organized, and definitely feeling better. Click here to register. Space limited. 

2) Contact Your Senators to Say “No” to the Awful Budget Bill Passed in the House. Cuts to healthcare, food assistance, and more will literally endanger lives just so we can give tax breaks to Elon Musk and his cohorts. Call using this special line set up by our allies at National Nurses United — 202-978-5357 — and then follow up with an email via our Action Alert. 

3) Join A “No Kings” Event Near You. Click here for the map and register to attend an event near you. If you don’t see an event in your area, click here to host a simple one. We’ll help you make it happen! 

4) For “Clicktivists”: Sign and share these petitions/online actions.

5) Can’t volunteer? Please contribute and make it monthly if you can. Any amount is greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much for anything you can do today for all our tomorrows. Let’s get to work!

In solidarity,

The PDA National Team
