Americans for Democratic Action is a nationwide, multi-issue progressive/Left organization that was founded by Eleanor Roosevelt in 1947. The  Southern California Chapter is the largest and most active. We are working on supporting and electing progressive candidates who will put the needs of their constituents ahead of corporate donors. We are committed to Single-Payer Healthcare (Medicare For All), staving off the Climate Catastrophe that is bearing down on us and fighting against the corruptive influence of Big Money on our Electoral System.

Cori Bush AND Nina Turner!!! A once in a lifetime opportunity to see two of the most progressive, outspoken and well-spoken legislators in the country -- together!!!!   This event is to raise funds for Cori's security.  She is receiving constant death threats and Congress does not provide security for "run of the mill" congress people -- so we need to step up to the plate to keep her safe. We have kept the entry donation affordable, but remember, this is a fundraiser so bring your checkbook or credit cards. This will also be a time to get together with our friends to celebrate some of our November wins at the polls (think Karen Bass, et al) - TOGETHER, for the first time in quite a while!  Let's Party! Holiday Party with a Purpose  for  Cori Bush (with Nina Turner) I Saturday   December 17 2:00 ~ 4:30pm in Santa Monica (Dress Warmly, and in Layers -- The Party will be Outdoors)  RSVP Hosted by Jan Goodman, Jerry Manpearl, Susie Shannon, Amy Vilela, Alan Minsky BOE Member Tony Vasquez, State Senator Ben Allen, Santa Monica Mayor Sue Himmelrich LA Councilmembers Hugh Soto Martinez & Mike Bonin Dorothy Reik, Carlos Marroquin, Howie Klein Progressive Democrats of America, and Feel the Bern San Fernando Valley lease mention who you were invited by when you RSVP for security purposes as we want to ensure the safety of our guests.  Address will be provided upon RSVP

Support Raphael Warnock for US Senate

  

 

Help make calls to Georgia to provide frequent Black Voters with their early voting locations, among other details on how to vote in the December 6, 2022 Raphael Warnock vs. Hershel Walker Senate runoff election. Early voting starts on November 28^th!

Getting Senator Warnock re-elected and having a 51 to 49 advantage will make a significant difference in the balance of power.  

If Reverend Warnock wins the December 2^nd Senate run-off, Democrats will have a majority on all Senate committees – that majority is essential for judiciary appointments, cabinet appointments, and for discharging petitions out of Senate committees. 

Having that 51^st senator will also make Machin irrelevant. 

Your calls to frequent Black voters can make all the difference in what promises to be a close run-off election.

 

START MAKING CALLS TODAY

 

WATCH Harvey Wasserman's discussion about what you can do to help with Center for Common Ground Founder & CEO Andrea Miller, and Atlanta Georgia NAACP Political Director Ray McClendon 

 

Southern California Americans for Democratic Action is partnering with the Center for Common Ground, the Atlanta NAACP and the Grass Roots Election Protection Coalition to make sure that Senator Warnock returns to the U.S. Senate.
