As Black History Month 2024 opens, we celebrate the achievements of African Americans to the fabric of American history, culture, and governance. PDA will continue to defend the voting rights of all Americans, protect vulnerable communities from environmental toxins and degradation, promote and support progressive candidates from diverse backgrounds, and encourage an honest national conversation on race and society…not just in February, but all year long, because Black history is American history, and actions speak louder than words.

We’ve been working to get solid progressives elected across the country, plus working for peace, domestically and internationally, and we’ve been working for social, economic, and racial justice, as well. 

We have a packed week before us, and we hope you’ll join us in our actions!

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

Please pick one or more of these actions/projects, and let’s make some noise together!

1) Progressive Virtual Town Hall Sunday: Defeating Trumpists with Progressive Candidates and Policies. Join our featured guests and rock star young progressive Congressional candidates Angelica Duenas and Ahmed Mostafa as we discuss their campaigns and plans for victory. We’ll also feature a prerecorded segment with Squad Members Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman on movement building. You’ll leave energized, organized, and definitely more hopeful. We hope you’ll join us. 

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) Become a local Congressional Office Liaison. Work with others in your area to promote progressive legislation. Sign up here and we’ll get you all the training you need to be successful.

4) For “Clicktivists”—Sign/Share:

• Join our Click Brigade if you’re up for quick and easy rapid-response “likes” and shares across a multitude of platforms.

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
