Information on Progressive Democrats of America

How is PDA Different From DFA (Democracy For America), MoveOn, Progressive Majority, etc?

This question is asked so many times that we thought we’d give you some talking points to help answer the question.

PDA is the only group that coordinates with progressive leaders on the hill. By organizing on a Congressional District model, PDA serves as the grassroots base for the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC).

PDA is the only group organizing progressives within the DNC.

PDA is the only group that works through our inside/outside strategy to move social movements into the political process of the Democratic Party.

PDA works on state party reform by supporting progressive activists to gain voice and vote within their state party structure and by embracing the Progressive Caucus model within the Democratic Party’s State Committee.

PDA is accountable to no one except the grassroots who support us. We rely on donations from grassroots “Sustainers” to support our work. Please go here to contribute.

PDA is not a click-and-join organization. We are about feet on the street and heat in the street.
