PDA Weekly Review and Preview for 11-23-24. Join us!
Much Done, and Much More to Do:
Here’s How We Can Move Forward to Build the Resistance
First, thank you so much if you were active over the past week.
If you still need time to process and heal from the events of the past two weeks, know that we hear you, and we’re here to help however we can.
Over the past week we’ve been curing ballots for the remaining competitive House seats and working to protect those community members who are especially potentially vulnerable as we ramp up to resist what Trump and MAGA have in store.
We will continue this work over the upcoming week, and if you’re up to it, please pick one or more of these actions/projects, and let’s make some good trouble, together!
1) Progressive Virtual Town Hall Sunday: Protecting the Vulnerable and Winning Elections with Progressives. Join our Special Guests Erika Andiola — one of the country’s leading immigrant rights advocates, longtime friend of PDA, and current Communications Director at The Young Center for Immigrant Human Rights — and California’s progressive State Comptroller, Betty Yee, candidate for Governor. You’l leave with a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity. We hope you see you Sunday!
2) Join the National Phone Team. Sign up with this juggernaut and make a real difference an hour here, an hour there, on your schedule. Sign up here, let us know what day you can set an hour aside, and we’ll get you cookin’ calling fellow PDA folks. We’ll make sure you’re doing something easy but productive!
3) Join the Congressional Liaisons Team. Join us to get all you need to do effective outreach to your Congressperson.

Thanks so much for anything you can do today for all our tomorrows. Let’s get to work!
In solidarity,
Mike Fox for the PDA National Team
