Much Done, And Much More To Do: Here’s How You Can Help Today
This week has been much like last week. The same struggles continue, and still we won’t stand down.
While all eyes have been on horrific events in Ukraine, we have stood strong with the Ukrainian people, demanding a ceasefire, the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops, and serious talks that can bring lasting peace to the region.
We’ve been standing with workers and unions, generating support for our 21st-Century Economic Rights campaign, as well as for women’s rights, and the rights of the LGBTQ community that are under serious attack.
We’ve been working for green energy solutions NOW to bring down gas prices and end dependence on authoritarians like Putin, along with supporting a windfall tax on major carbon-based fuel companies.
And we take very seriously Sen. Joe Manchin’s admonition to elect more progressives if we want more progressive policies enacted. As the shape of the 2022 election continues to unfold, we are rolling out endorsements weekly of vibrant, determined, young progressive candidates to take on the establishment from Maine to Florida to California.
Join us for one or more of the actions below. Together, step by step, day by day, we’ll make a real difference!
- Progressive Virtual Town Hall Sunday: Supporting Tremendous Progressive Candidates, plus green opportunities and peace in Ukraine. We’ll be talking with PDA-endorsed congressional candidate Jamie McLeod-Skinner, who is running to unseat one of the most conservative Democrats in Congress. Then an update on Ukraine, progressive foreign policy, and the intersection with the climate emergency/need to get off fossil fuels, like, yesterday. RSVP here.
- Join the National Phone Team. Make easy calls from home to fellow PDA folks to ensure they’re in the know about important actions and our endorsed candidates. We work 7 days a week, so whenever is good for you is good for us. Click here to join.
- Become a local Congressional Office Liaison. Work with others in your area to promote progressive legislation and end the filibuster in the Senate. Sign up here and we’ll get you all the training you need to be successful.
- For “Clicktivists”: Tell Congress to pass a tax on major carbon-based fuel companies. Tell President Biden to use his powers to ramp up a green response to Putin and rising fuel prices. Sign the petition to Collins Aerospace to end the lockout of their union employees. Stop the Fox News Disinformation Machine, and prevent the privatization of Medicare.
- “Like” our Facebook page and/or follow us on Twitter, if you’re a social media maven.
- Then please let us know if you act.
- Can’t volunteer? Please contribute what you are able to afford and make it monthly if you can. There’s much to do, and we need the resources to make it all happen.
Thanks so much for anything you can do to ramp up our victories in 2022. Hope to see you soon!
Question: Is there a list of all the progressive candidates that you are endorsing? I tried to find one but was unsuccessful. And if you don’t, I think it would be a good idea and it should come with their donation address ( both snail mail as well as email ( PayPal etc.)
Thank you, Cynthia Kinavey
At the top any page on PDA’s website there is a link called “Endorsements” that will take you here: https://pdamerica.org/endorsements/
Check back often due to PDA is still adding endorsed candidates.
If you click on the candidate’s image it’ll take you to a donation page.
Hope that answers your questions!
