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

Many thanks to those who were in the game with us over the past week. Your efforts are making a real difference!

Coming off of the hugely successful fundraiser we helped coordinate for Summer Lee last Saturday, we’ve been hitting the phones hard for her as well as progressive Senate candidate Zach Shrewsbury, who is looking to fill Joe Manchin’s vacated seat in West Virginia with a serious working-class progressive!

We continued our work for peace, against AIPAC and other dark money sources that are corrupting our democracy and trying to defeat the Squad.

We’ll continue this work, along with more efforts to fight for healthcare for all, social, economic, racial, and environmental justice, and more in the upcoming week.

We have a packed plate before us, and we hope you’ll join us in one or more of our actions!

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

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

1) Progressive Virtual Town Hall Sunday: Defeating Trump and MAGA with Progressive Candidates and Policy Positions. Featured Speaker this week: Squad Member Delia Rodriguez and President of Peace Action, Kevin Martin. We’ll lay out the patch to victory for all Squad/future Squad members, and discuss the big outreach to Congress re: Ceasefire Now! You’ll leave energized, organized, and definitely more hopeful. We hope you’ll join us.

2) Congressional Liaisons Organizing Call Monday: the Road to Ceasefire Now! Join us to get all you need to do effective outreach to your Congressperson.

3) 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!
