Ask Questions About Poverty
In The Presidential Debates

As we’ve emphasized repeatedly, poverty, homelessness, and hunger are outrageous injustices, and we must not let them continue. Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) chose economic and social justice as one of our top priorities at our launch fifteen years ago. We’ve worked with top activists ever since to address poverty.

Please support this effort by signing our petition calling on the DNC and cable news networks to prioritize questions on the crisis of poverty, housing, and hunger.

Ilhan Omar introduced legislation to cancel all outstanding student debt; their bills compliment parallel legislation that would make all public state and community colleges tuition free.”

Alan explains, ”If passed, these bills would solve a massive crisis that has been suffocating the American economy and burdening the lives of 45 million working and middle class Americans.” Click Here to sign on as a grassroots cosponsor of the Student Debt Cancellation legislation.
