Jan 23, 2026 | PDA News

Join us this Sunday at 4pm ET/1pm PT for our weekly Progressive Town Hall. 

 

Our featured guest is Illinois Congressman Jesus “Chuy” Garcia. We will also hear form  Hartzell Gray for Congress (MO-04).RSVP Now!

We are thrilled that Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia will be joining us again for Sunday’s Town Hall. Rep. Garcia recently announced that he will not be running for re-election this year, but we know from years of working with Chuy that he has many lessons to impart to his fellow progressives that will help our movement grow – by helping us better serve the interests of poor, working- and middle-class Americans.

Indeed, at PDA’s Progressive Central Conference in Chicago during the DNC in August 2024, Rep. Garcia delivered a powerful talk on the relationship between U.S. foreign policy toward Latin America and mass immigration to the United States. Chuy had just returned from a PanAmerican conference in Bogota, Columbia, and he was confident that an incoming Harris administration would have had allies to work with throughout Latin America to recalibrate U.S. foreign policy to become less oppressive and more mutually beneficial.

One year into Trump 2.0, and it’s clear that things have gone in the opposite direction – but that only means that what Chuy was proposing at Progressive Central in 2024 is needed now more urgently than ever – just as Chuy’s experience working on the victorious Harold Washington campaigns means that he has knowledge about building a campaign that inspires mass participation in working-class and poor communities of color.

Sunday’s is going to be an excellent Town Hall. We’re going to learn a lot. RSVP Now!

And we’re also going to have an update from Hartrzell Gray, candidate for Congress in MO-4
