The other made the move from the House of Representatives to the Senate. Now it\u2019s Barbara\u2019s turn. The other transformed American politics with an upstart PDA-backed campaign for higher office. Now, it\u2019s Barbara\u2019s time! Indeed! Who can deny that in the dreary, foreboding winter of \u201924, America, the people of the world, and the planet itself are crying out for a champion\u2014someone who has never wavered in her belief that together we can build \u201cthe beautiful community\u201d in our time. Like Bernie Sanders, Barbara Lee stands out for her lifelong unshakable conviction that we can build a much better world through progressive politics. Just like with Bernie, Barbara\u2019s integrity sets her apart. They are a true rarity, politicians that people trust. So, join us this Sunday at 4pm ET1pm PT. Barbara Lee will present her cogent, and attainable, vision for a more peaceful, just, and equitable world. Just as importantly, Sunday\u2019s Town Hall will make the case that a victory by Barbara Lee will represent a history-altering breakthrough for progressives! At a moment when we\u2019re being told we can do nothing to stop indiscriminate slaughter, a Barbara Lee victory says otherwise: that war is over if you want it. Similarly, all of the supposedly unchangeable, endemic economic and social crises that make life in America so brutish and unjust for the vast majority, in fact have policy solutions right there in Lee\u2019s platform\u2014often modeled after successful programs from other countries. Just like with Bernie in 2016, a victory by Barbara Lee will transport us from a time of despair and hopelessness to one of possibility and promise. After all, Barbara Lee\u2019s primary is the first major race for progressives in 2024, a top-two finish by Lee will advance her to November\u2019s general election. Such an exciting comeback victory by Lee will instantly transform the dominant narrative of the 2024 election cycle from one in which progressives were virtually absent\u2014and the death pallor of Biden vs Trump II reflects the morbid condition of America\u2019s politics\u2014to one in which faith in democracy is restored (at least in California), the progressive agenda continues to gain momentum, and public support for peace in Gaza cannot be denied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PDAMERICA \u2022 Started streaming 60 minutes ago Across the entire 19- year history of PDA, Barbara Lee has been one of our two closest allies in Congress.
