PDA Progressive Town Hall: Sunday June 15, 2025

Democracy Now! Jun 16, 2025 Join us this Sunday for a Special Father’s Day Town Hall in which hosts Hartzell Gray and Donna Smith will celebrate the nationwide demonstrations against tyranny held on Saturday. With each passing day the news can seem more dire. U.S. Senators are bullied, handcuffed and then arrested for trying to ask the Administration a question about their rampant disregard for both the Constitution and the truth. The U.S. military has been deployed inside the country, in defiance of the Posse Comitatus Act to suppress dissent and free speech; and to facilitate Gestapo-type raids against working-class communities of color. The GOP continues to steamroll the most damaging piece of legislation possible in all of U.S. history, through Congress. And to top it off, Israel is doing its damnedest to start World War III. Yet, there’s great news too because we the people are resisting! And when we stand up, as we are, the words of Woody Guthrie from the middle of last century ring true once again: “Those Fascists are Bound to Lose!” So, on this week’s Town Hall, we won’t be turning a blind eye to the reality we face, but we will be celebrating the mobilization of the American people – citizens and residents alike – against fascism!
