This Sunday: Rep. Barbara Lee, PDA-endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate in California

Jan 19, 2024 | PDA News

RSVP Now for Sunday’s Town Hall with one the world’s great advocates for peace and social justice, Rep. Barbara Lee, candidate for the U.S. Senate in California.  Victory in this race will change the world!

 

Barbara_Lee2.jpgAcross the entire 19- year history of PDA, Barbara Lee has been one of our two closest allies in Congress.  The other made the move from the House of Representatives to the Senate. Now it’s Barbara’s turn. The other transformed American politics with an upstart PDA-backed campaign for higher office.  Now, it’s Barbara’s time!

Indeed! Who can deny that in the dreary, foreboding winter of ’24, America, the people of the world, and the planet itself are crying out for a champion—someone who has never wavered in her belief that together we can build “the beautiful community” in our time.

Like Bernie Sanders, Barbara Lee stands out for her lifelong unshakable conviction that we can build a much better world through progressive politics. Just like with Bernie, Barbara’s integrity sets her apart. They are a true rarity, politicians that people trust.

So, join us this Sunday at 4pm ET1pm PT. Barbara Lee will present her cogent, and attainable, vision for a more peaceful, just, and equitable world. Just as importantly, Sunday’s Town Hall will make the case that a victory by Barbara Lee will represent a history-altering breakthrough for progressives!

At a moment when we’re being told we can do nothing to stop indiscriminate slaughter, a Barbara Lee victory says otherwise: that war is over if you want it. Similarly, all of the supposedly unchangeable, endemic economic and social crises that make life in America so brutish and unjust for the vast majority, in fact have policy solutions right there in Lee’s platform—often modeled after successful programs from other countries.

Just like with Bernie in 2016, a victory by Barbara Lee will transport us from a time of despair and hopelessness to one of possibility and promise. After all, Barbara Lee’s primary is the first major race for progressives in 2024, a top-two finish by Lee will advance her to November’s general election. Such an exciting comeback victory by Lee will instantly transform the dominant narrative of the 2024 election cycle from one in which progressives were virtually absent—and the death pallor of Biden vs Trump II reflects the morbid condition of America’s politics—to one in which faith in democracy is restored (at least in California), the progressive agenda continues to gain momentum, and public support for peace in Gaza cannot be denied.

So, join us this Sunday, and let’s work together to lift Barbara Lee to a historic victory in California.

See you on Sunday!  

In solidarity,

Alan Minsky for the PDA National Team
