Progressive Democrats of America

@pdamerica

Progressive Democrats of America was founded in 2004 to transform the Democratic Party and our country. We seek to build a party and government controlled by citizens, not corporate elites-with policies that serve the broad public interest, not just private interests. As a grassroots PAC operating inside the Democratic Party, and outside in movements for peace and justice, PDA played a key role in the stunning electoral victories of November 2006 and 2008. Our inside/outside strategy is guided by the belief that a lasting majority will require a revitalized Democratic Party built on firm progressive principles. For over two decades, the party declined as its leadership listened more to the voices of corporations than those of Americans. PDA strives to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up-from every congressional district to statewide party structures to the corridors of power in Washington, where we work arm in arm with the Congressional Progressive Caucus. In just a couple of years PDA and its allies have shaken up the political status-quo on issues from ending the Iraq war, voter rights, protecting Social Security, a full employment economy, national healthcare and economic justice. http://www.pdamerica.org/ - Paid for by Progressive Democrats of America (http://www.pdamerica.org) Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee

The Ohio Train Disaster: We Must Protect Human Life and the Planet from Corporate GreedFeb 16, 2023 | PDA Blog The East Palestine Ohio Train Catastrophe is an All-Too-Familiar Cautionary Tale Corporations and their political allies don't give a damn about working-class lives and communities. They oppose any protections that interfere with their profits. The

Railroad workers and unions called for upgraded braking systems. President Obama heeded their call in 2015 with an Executive Order. President Trump heeded the call of the railroad companies and annulled Obama’s order in 2017. After the 2020 election, unions pressed the Biden Administration to renew the order, to no avail.

What is the political lesson here? It’s simple; read more at today’s post below.
