Much Done, and Much More to Do:
Here’s How We Can All Help Bring Home Wins

Yet another busy week in PDALand. The struggle continues…

We’re so proud to say over the past week we’ve been showing solidarity with striking UAW workers on picket lines across the country, but of course the situations dominating the news now are the dysfunctional Republicans in the House, and the tragedy transpiring in Israel/Gaza.

While short term there’s little we can do to fix the MAGA Republicans in the House, we will continue to work over the upcoming week to help progressives win elections and establish majorities not only in the U.S. House, but at the state and local levels as well via our sister organization Progressives for Democracy in America.

As for peace for the Israeli and Palestinian people, we will continue to work for a just solution that recognizes the human rights of every person not only in that region, but around the globe.

We at PDA see it as our jobs to keep up the struggle, 7 days a week, and we hope you’ll join us as well.

Just an hour here or there can make a real difference when it’s focused on a productive project.
