No one understands the imbalances that plague the American political system better than Jamaal Bowman\u2014and no one tells it like it is any better. Less than two months since he left Congress, Bowman will give us the lowdown on how Congress really operates and what Democrats must do to fight back effectively against Trump and Musk. So, join us this Sunday for words and wisdom from a politician with great integrity, who will be one of the leaders of the progressive movement for decades to come, Jamaal Bowman. Then, we will have a PDA strategy session. Executive Director Alan Minsky has written a series of articles on Commondreams, about how progressives can and must take over the Democratic Party for the good of the country and the world. The articles that have created quite a buzz on social media. A presentation of their central ideas, followed by an open discussion, is overdue on one of our Town Halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link to video:  <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/broadcasts\/1vOGwXwVOwvJB\">https:\/\/x.com\/i\/broadcasts\/1vOGwXwVOwvJB<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PDAMERICA \u2022 Streamed live 2 hours ago As we all know, imbalanced redistricting, plus an avalanche of right-wing money arrayed against him and in support of his conservative Democratic opponent, led to Jamaal Bowman\u2019s defeat in last year\u2019s primary.
