PDA Sunday Progressive Town Hall, February 27, 2022
Channel: PDAMERICA
Date: 28/02/2022

This Town Hall is on Puerto Rican Sovereignty, plus updates on anti-war activism, Starbucks Workers United, and Tuesday’s Texas primary.

In the first hour of Sunday’s Town Hall, we’ll be discussing three important and timely PDA initiatives:
1)Support for Starbucks workers who are organizing to win union representation at their stores.
2)Helping to build a powerful anti-war peace movement in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that demands the USA stay completely out of the military conflict.
3) A final push in support of the two exceptional progressive congressional candidates that PDA endorsed in Texas, Jessica Cisneros and Greg Casar. Texas’ primary is on Tuesday, two whole months before any other state in the union. Both Jessica and Greg have a real possibility of winning the primary outright, and thus avoiding a costly runoff, by receiving more than 50% of the vote in this round. So, every vote is essential, and every phone banker priceless.

Then, the panel on Puerto Rico begins promptly at 5pm ET/2pm PT. It features one of the national co-chairs of the 2020 Bernie Sanders campaign, former Mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulin-Cruz. Joining Carmen will be Rafael Bernabe, member of the Puerto Rican Senate, and Adrian Gonzalez, the organizational secretary of the PR Independence Party.
