In solidarity, Mike Hersh for Alan, Shayna, Deb, Kimberly, Bryan, Mike F., Dr. Bill, Dan, and Janis—your PDA national team.

Defy Hate, Denounce War, Demand Equality
Including Defending Reproductive Choice!

Last week, Trump threatened war against Iran, launched a concerted attack against immigrants, and escalated his assaults against women’s Constitutional rights. Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) is adamantly opposed to all of these reckless, aggressive policies. Join us mobilizing to protect Trump’s targets and organizing for progress!

Several states have signed unconstitutional abortion bans. Click Here to tell Congress to prohibit any government entity from denying, interfering with, or discriminating against reproductive choice.

TELL CONGRESS: No War Against Iran: Trump is openly threatening Iran with military attack. He admits he ordered an attack, but changed his mind at the last moment!
