People Demanding Action (PDAction) is a mass-based political movement and network rebuilding a populist coalition to protect and preserve the dreams of our children and the coming generations.
Our mission is to help foment and evolve a grassroots movement to rebuild American democracy, freedom, peace and justice.
Our inspiration is the remarkable history of successful people's movements, reminding us that "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." We strive to preserve and build on the great democratic-populist advances of the past, for which many struggled mightily and died.Our work is to bring together activists, organizers, faith leaders, citizens, social justice leaders and legislators to advance the core solutions of promoting household stability through economic justice, climate justice and social justice, while protecting the integrity of democratic elections and voting rights.Our strategy is to build a state-by-state network of activists who work for reform through education, legislation, mobilization and direct non-violent action.W will catalyze, energize, and organize progressive and populist leadership conferences of activists and organizations at the local, state, regional and national levels, and facilitate the building of a populist justice movement.PDA is both a grassroots and grasstops political network. In the coming months and through the 2016 - 2020 elections our goal is to build a coalition that will take bold steps, through a fusion of all populists and progressives, to protect the social safety net and progressive programs that have been under attack by a right wing corporatist juggernaut.
Our immediate goal is to build a grassroots network that can wield political power, and support policies and opportunities that promote a healthy, prosperous and peaceful nation for all, including not just the wealthy, but the working-poor, disabled, homeless, unemployed, underemployed and middle class.We strongly encourage women to seek public office, whether elected or appointed. Our membership is comprised of women who are government officials, community activists, business leaders, and voters who want to make a difference for women in South Carolina and across the United States.
