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.
From out-of-control ICE aggression at home to very concerning developments in the conflict between Israel and Iran and the ongoing killing of innocents in Gaza, Ukraine, and Sudan, the past week has certainly been a challenge.
Meanwhile, we held our monthly Healthcare is a Human Right Issue Organizing Team call Tuesday, where our largest audience yet for that call got organized. We followed with our Campaign to Victory call on Thursday, where we organized to get progressives elected in contests going on right now, as well as to protect our endangered community members.
PDA activists are hosting and participating in the massive No Kings demonstrations across the country today, and we’ll debrief those experiences on our online Sunday Town Hall.
Over the upcoming week we will continue to support peace and economic, social, environmental, and racial justice and human rights for all. On the phones, at the doors, in the streets, in the suites, and on social media, organizing neighborhood by neighborhood, we’ll build the movement required to bring about real change, and keep our endangered communities safe.
Please join us this week. You can make a real difference!

Please remove me from the reminder call list for the Thursday and Sunday meetings.
I know when the meetings are and the volunteer callers can focus on others who might need a reminder. Thanks so much!
Thanks Karyl, I will let the phone team know. -Matt
