Brothers and Sisters, we are living in the midst of a constitutional crisis. Donald Trump and his billionaire cronies are defying the Supreme Court, pushing illegal and unconstitutional deportations, and attacking the very foundations of our democracy. The far right is testing the limits of our system. The question is—will we stand by, or will we fight back? The oligarchs win by making us believe that we are alone. We are not alone. Joining us is Young Progressive Democrats of America (YPDA)-endorsed candidate for New York’s 1st Congressional District, Lukas Venturous! Lukas is a first-generation American product of Greek immigrants. His grandfather, Lambros, walked through Ellis Island in the 1950s, as a refugee from the Greek Civil War. With a campaign focused on worker empowerment, ending corruption, and accessible public transportation, Lukas brings fresh energy and a vision to build a brighter future for Long Island, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to our town hall! We’ll wrap with an update from Executive Director of Our Wisconsin Revolution, and YPDA Steering Committee Member, William Walter. William has been on the front lines fighting for progressive policies in Wisconsin and beyond. Hear how he and his fellow organizers defeated Elon Musk, and are now working to build a coalition of state organizers committed to winning electorally while also reaching out to new, young, and disaffected voters. PDA Progressive Town Hall Sunday, April 20 4pm ET/3pm CT/2pm MT/1pm PT+AZ/12pm AK/10am HI Register here and the machine will email you your secure codes. The fight for justice, democracy, and a future that works for all of us has never been more urgent. It’s an honor building power with you. I believe that WE will win. Hartzell Gray, Director of Outreach Young Progressive Democrats of America, and the PDA National Team |
