About

Progressive Democrats of Genesee Valley is a local chapter of Progressive Democrats of America (PDA). PDA was founded in 2004 to transform the Democratic Party and our country. “[PDA] seeks to build a party and government controlled by citizens, not corporate elites -- with policies that serve the broad public interest, not just private interests."

“PDA strives to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up – from every Congressional District, to statewide party structures, to the corridors of power in Washington – where we work arm in arm with the Congressional Progressive Caucus. [Its] inside/outside strategy is guided by the belief that a lasting majority will require a revitalized Democratic Party built on firm progressive principles.”

We are an affiliated chapter of Progressive Democrats of America

We say “Healthcare NOT Warfare” and ask you to join our campaign.

The time has come to redirect unnecessary and wasteful military spending to meeting human needs.
