PDA Sunday Progressive Town Hall, October 20, 2024

PDAMERICA Streamed live 6 hours agoWe at PDA understand why people roll their eyes when they hear political activists say, once again, that this year is the most imporatnt election of our lifetime. Invariably, this claim is made becuase of the inherent danger of the opponent. Well… this time that claim is objectively true. Trump and his oligarch-backed MAGA movement represent a much greater threat to the maintanance of our democratic republic than anything we’ve seen since, at least, the defeat of post-Civil War reconstruction or the Civil War itself. Now, at PDA, we do take a different approach than other mass membership political organizations to this reality – in that we ask everyone to be just as active both before and after an election in the fight to preserve and expand democracy. No contemporary public figure personifies that spirit more than the great political journalist John Nichols, who will be our guest on this week’s Town Hall. An ally of PDA since our founding 20 years ago, John will offer his understanding of the election as it heads into the final two weeks – and how progressives can help bring home an essential victory.
