Progressive Democrats of America is a grassroots PAC that works both inside the Democratic Party and outside in movements for peace and justice.

PDA's advisory board includes seven members of Congress and activist leaders such as Tom Hayden, Medea Benjamin, Thom Hartmann, Jim Hightower, and Rev. Lennox Yearwood.
