This Sunday: Cori Bush, plus a Progressive Strategy Session for the next 100 days
Join us Sunday at 4pm ET/1pm PT for a jam-packed PDA Town Hall. We’ll hear from Rep. Cori Bush, nine days before her primary. We’ll get an update from Arizona, where election day is Tuesday. Then, we’ll consider two pressing questions for progressives at this high-stakes moment in our history: How can we best contribute to a Democratic victory in the fall? Can this be done while advancing the progressive movement? RSVP now!
Later on Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles, PDA will be co-hosting an in-person fundraiser with Cori Bush. But that won’t keep Cori from dropping in on our Town Hall for a quick update on her razor’s edge primary.
Just like her fellow Squad members, Summer Lee and Jamaal Bowman, faced earlier this year, Cori is facing unprecedented spending by right-wing donors in support of her main opponent.
Foremost among these donors is AIPAC’s main Super-PAC, United Democracy Project. This should surprise no one, as Rep. Bush was the first member of Congress to introduce legislation calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, way back on October 16, 2023.
History has proven Cori correct. How many tens of thousands of innocent human lives would’ve been spared? Would Israel’s international standing be destroyed? If only the President and Congress had heeded Cori’s advice. But, of course, nothing infuriates the powers-that-be than being proven incorrect—and now, as right-wing oligarchs are going after Cori with a vengeance, the more liberal super-rich sit idly by, complicit to another crime against our democracy.
Indeed, it’s up to us progressives to do what’s right, and rally in defense of one of the most forward thinking members in the history of Congress, the representative from Missouri’s first district Cori Bush!
Don’t miss her on this Sunday’s Town Hall at 4pm ET/1pm PT. RSVP now!
We’ll also get a quick update on Raquel Teran’s inspiring campaign for Congress in AZ-03 where election day is Tuesday.
Then, we’ll be joined by Rev. Janette Wilson from Rainbow/PUSH to tell us about their annual conference in Chicago on Thursday-through-Saturday August 15-17, that PDA is proudly co-sponsoring.
That will be followed by an update on PDA’s own conference in Chicago on Sunday and Monday August 18-19, Progressive Central 2024.
As of Sunday, there will be 100 days left until election day in November. The Town Hall will close out with an extended Strategy Session on how progressives can best help defeat Trump; and how this essential goal can be achieved while also strengthening the progressive movement.
Join us Sunday at 4pm ET/1pm PT. RSVP Now!
In solidarity,
Alan Minsky for the PDA National Team
