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

First, thank you so much if you’ve been working with us over the past week. Your efforts are making a real difference, and you inspire!

This no doubt has been one of the most turbulent weeks in presidential politics we’ve seen since the week of January 6th, 2021.

The mass shooting last Saturday proved once again that it’s too easy for folks who represent a risk to the public to get their hands on an assault rifle and commit heinous acts in our schools, churches, markets, and now, at political rallies.

All this past week we’ve been working to bring back the assault weapons ban. We are countering MAGA’s Project 2025 with policies and candidates who will make our communities safer not only through common sense gun safety regulations, but also by supporting a robust social safety net, economic and educational opportunity for all, and an unwavering commitment to democracy, justice, and rule of law.

Join us as we build a brighter future, together!

Just an hour here or there talking to voters can make a real difference when it’s focused on a productive goal, like the primaries taking place right now.

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

1) Progressive Virtual Town Hall Sunday: Defeating MAGA and Project 2025 with Progressive Candidates and Policy Positions. Winning vital upcoming primaries, an update on our 20th Anniversary National Event, Progressive Central 2024, coming up during the DNC Convention in Chicago, and more on breaking news. Featured Guests: historian Professor Harvey J. Kaye, PhD, and Young Progressive Democrats of America Board Member Hartzell Gray. You’ll leave energized, organized, and definitely more hopeful. We hope you’ll join us.

2) Campaign to Victory Call. Get plugged into our action plan and make a real difference! RSVP here.

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.
