PDA Weekly Review and Preview for 6-18-22
In solidarity,

Much Done, and Much More To Do:
Here’s How You Can Help Us Win This Week
We’ve been working for our endorsed candidates with primaries on June 28th, following the January 6th Committee hearings and spreading the word that Trump and his associates must be held legally accountable for their actions, demanding a better bill in the Senate to stem gun violence, supporting the Poor People’s marches across the country, and keeping a close eye on the Supreme Court ruling that could have dramatic impact on the Climate Emergency.
We continue to stand with our brothers and sisters impacted by DACA, as well. This past Wednesday was the 10 year anniversary of DACA, and we stand to this day with the statement put out 10 years ago by our folks in Arizona: “To the “Dreamers, we salute you. Your active resistance, courage and unwavering struggle for justice and fairness, is starting to pay off. We encourage you now to continue to lead the fight for a complete reform of the system, including legislative implementation of the Dream Act.” And the struggle, unfortunately, continues.
We will also celebrate Juneteenth on Sunday, as well as stand with the people of Ukraine, calling for peace there, and everywhere, around the globe.
Join PDA activists nationwide, in every state of the union, as we show solidarity with each other and our community as a whole to make the world a better place for all.
Pick one or more of these actions/projects, and let’s make some noise together!
