Stay Informed: Read PDA’s Recent Posts

Congress has passed “emergency response” legislation that fails to address the emergency. Specifically and outrageously, our frontline healthcare professionals are still working courageously to save lives without the protective equipment they need.

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) needs your help now! We’re working within a large, powerful coalition to demand effective legislation in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We will overcome this crisis—all the more rapidly if we all work together and do our parts. Please take the following actions:

Tell Congress To Support The USPS During This Crisis! We need the Post Office to ensure delivery of medications and other necessities, as well as to allow secure, accurate vote-by-mail for primaries and the general election.

Click Here to contact Mike Fox and RSVP for our Emergency Healthcare Town Hall TOMORROW, Sunday May 10th, 1pm PT, 2pm MT, 3pm CT, 4pm ET. Dr. Bill Honigman and special guests will answer your questions and discuss your concerns.

During this crisis, we’re relying on the U.S. Postal Service more than ever for delivery of basic necessities including medications. Even as we make plans for voting-by-mail that will dramatically increase already onerous pressures on the USPS, the Service struggles to cope with absurd, arbitrary pension requirements.

Click Here to tell Congress that the next emergency response legislation must adequately fund the USPS.

There is a real opportunity for student debt cancellation to be part of the next stimulus package. Now is the time to make sure our voices are heard.

Act now! Congress will vote on the next COVID-19 legislation as early as next week. 46 million Americans are carrying a staggering sum total of 1.7 trillion dollars of student debt. Millions feel trapped, with no hope of paying off their debt. Sign the Petition Telling Congress to Cancel Student Debt.

We’re horrified at the ongoing oppression of immigrants and asylum seekers. Our immigration policies have long needed fundamental reform. Even before the COVID-19 crisis, innocent people—including infants and children—were suffering and dying in custody.

Now, Trump is persecuting and scapegoating immigrants once again, using Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to terrorize people in hospitals, schools, and their homes.

Click here to tell your Representative and Senators to vote to defund and abolish ICE, to quickly pass the bipartisan Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, and to end inhumane and deadly abuses against immigrants and asylum-seekers.

We can’t go back to business as usual after the pandemic crisis is over. We need to mobilize now for the Post-COVID-19 world. That’s why PDA supports the comprehensiveGreen New Deal agenda.

To ensure our immediate and long-term survival, we need the Green New Deal—policies to create millions of new, highly-paid, sustainable jobs, to build critically-needed infrastructure, to free ourselves from household debt, and to enhance our social safety net.

We need an empowered, progressive mass movement to demand the policies and government responses needed to save lives and rebuild our shattered economy. We need your generous support to get there.

P.S.: Please remember to RSVP to Mike Fox to join our Healthcare Emergency Virtual Town Hall / Webinar TOMORROW, Sunday 5/10 from 4-5pm ET, 1-2pm PT. Mike will provide all the call-in information.

Then, join PDA investing to enact Medicare For All and science-based, effective, emergency COVID-19 response policies.
