We are thrilled to have Illinois State Senator Robert Peters join our Town Hall this Sunday, running in the 2nd Congressional District to follow Robin Kelly, who is stepping down to run for the U.S. Senate.

Here’s what Senator Bernie Sanders had to say when endorsing State Senator Peters:

I am proud to support Robert Peters in Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District, a principled leader and organizer with a record of winning big progressive policy fights. I know he’ll be ready to do battle alongside me as we take on big money in politics and save our democracy from the billionaires trying to tear it down. Together, we’ll not only block Republican efforts to cut Medicaid and Medicare, but we’ll keep pushing for Medicare for All, because Robert shares my fundamental belief that health care is a human right. Right now, we need bold voices in Congress who will stand up to Trump and his wrecking crew, and I am confident that Robert is ready for the fight.

You’re not going to want to miss this Town Hall!  RSVP Now!

We’ll also hear about the most significant victory in recent memory against big money in the Democratic Party, courtesy of the PDA-founded Progressive Council of the Arizona Democratic Party.

And urgently, we will discuss the need for all of us to work to build a powerful, vibrant, and permanent anti-war movement that stands for Peace, opposes US involvement in the Iran-Israel War, and demands that Congress reassert its War Powers authority. 

You’ll leave energized, organized, and more hopeful. RSVP now, and invite your progressive friends!

We look forward to seeing you!

In solidarity,

Alan Minsky for the National PDA Team
