PDA of Greater Phoenix
An official chapter of Progressive Democrats of America.
Working with the tactical PDA strategy of "inside" "outside". Which pretty much means working within the progressive grassroots of Phoenix (outside) to change the democratic party (inside) by supporting progressive democratic candidates, training those willing to become precinct committee people, training those willing to work within the county and state democratic party. A couple things we are currently working on is setting up an educational outreach monthly meeting. Setting up a social hour for progressives of all types to gather and meet/greet/network. And setting up a large research project to review/study/document past minority elections throughout the phoenix area.

PDA of Tucson
An official chapter of Progressive Democrats of America.
This group has been heavily involved in all aspects of election reform, forming and creating the groups (except PDA phoenix) named above, and building a coalition of their own to support upcoming progressive groups, candidates and voting irregularities in the Tucson area.
