Advancing a Progressive Agenda

Posted by Adam Wolman · February 23, 2017 12:00 PM

... to offer a better life to all Americans. And these days, to keep the Trump administration from doing the country harm.

The Pacific Palisades Democratic Club (aka PaliDems, or PPDC) is one of the largest, most active Democratic clubs in Southern California. Since our founding in the 1950s, we've been working to insure that the following Democratic values and goals stay or become fundamental American priorities:

Women’s access to abortion and contraception
Scientific research and development
Electing progressive Democrats to city, state, county, and federal offices
Environmental protection, addressing climate change
Improved and expanded Medicare-for-All, single-payer system

The list goes on -- click here to read more

With the wildly important 2018 midterms looming,

another primary focus this year is to

Flip 8 of 14 California Congressional districts BLUE

 

And check out PPDC's L.A. primary election (6/5/18) endorsements HERE

Quick alert:

MoveOn.org is organizing rapid-response rallies in the event that Mueller, Rosenstein, or Sessions gets fired.

Find a local rally here and let the local organizer know you're interested, and they'll send details:

https://act.moveon.org/event/mueller-firing-rapid-response/?akid=&zip=

The one closest to the Palisades and Santa Monica won't let more people sign up -- RSVPs must have come fast and furious -- but we happen to know it would take place at the top of the California Incline (Ocean Ave & California).

If the firing(s) were to take place before 2 PM our time, the rally would start at 5 PM that day.

If after 2 PM, the rally would start the next day at noon.

Wow and WOW.

So many of you showed up for the March on Our Lives, both downtown and in Santa Monica.

The passion, the energy, the spicy signage, the orange, the solidarity ... all incredibly inspiring!
