The Weekend Before Labor Day 2026: Progressives are Winning the Moment
Be sure to RSVP for PDA’s Progressive Town Hall, this Sunday, August 30, 2026.
RSVP here. It’s the weekend before Labor Day, and campaigning for the November 3 midterms is about to kick into hyperdrive.
After Labor Day, the sprint to Election Day begins. Every door, every call, every text, and every volunteer matters.
But we still have a few primaries to go and a few more opportunities to elect progressives!
RSVP for this Sunday’s Progressive Town Hall, where we’ll hear from two candidates ready to transform Congress and move the Democratic Party forward.
Massachusetts Votes Tuesday
On Tuesday, Massachusetts voters head to the polls, and Patrick Roath has a real opportunity to unseat longtime incumbent Rep. Stephen Lynch.
This race is about the rising power of progressive organizing, the need for generational change, and a battle over the future of the Democratic Party.
Roath has called Lynch “the last Democrat left in Washington who voted against the Affordable Care Act” and has criticized him as the only member of the Massachusetts delegation to support provisions of the Laken Riley Act requiring the detention of certain immigrants accused of crimes.
This is an election that could come down to every single vote, and Patrick Roath will join us Sunday at 4:15 PM ET.
Then, New Hampshire
Later in the call, we’ll be joined by Karishma Manzur, PDA’s endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire.
After a summer of unprecedented progressive success in Democratic primaries across the country, New Hampshire kicks off the final week of the 2026 primary season on September 8.
The people of the Granite State will have their opportunity to lift up the progressive agenda by supporting Manzur against the establishment favorite, Rep. Chris Pappas, who has built one of the more conservative voting records among Democrats in the U.S. House.
Once again, it’s the people versus the money.
Manzur’s progressive platform reflects the priorities of Democratic voters who want real change, while Pappas represents a more corporate and establishment approach to governing. PDA, as always, is standing with the interests of people and the planet, and so is Karishma Manzur!
See you Sunday. RSVP today, and let’s finish the primary season strong!
In solidarity,
Alan Minsky and the PDA Team
