[Peace-discuss] [Peace] Help Stop Sexism!

Thu Jan 18 10:10:01 UTC 2018

Apologies to all for the length of this response. Some answers don't
fit on a bumper sticker.

First of all, Karen, thank you for your kind words about Progressive
Democrats of America and our local work toward peace. You and Niloofar
were driving partners in the Costs of War panel event, and even though
it took a little bit of time, I am so glad it bore some useful fruit.

Yes, we brought Medea Benjamin, who is also on our national advisory
board, to Champaign for her book tour. She worked with PDA and other
organizations to cover the Chicago and upstate area, then PDA arranged
for three downstate stops through our local chapters in the Metro-East
region, Springfield, and Champaign-Urbana. BTW, the CU stop was the
most successful, and Medea was very pleased, and I thank all who
attended and helped make it a great success, and those individuals and
organizations who aided in the organizing effort. Mike Fox personally
arranged a 3-day/7-stop tour for her in Florida, and PDA chapters
across the country stepped up to host Medea and help her spread her
message of peace.

Carl, you should have read our "Help Stop Sexism!" email more
carefully. In it we applaud Sen. Cardin as the lead sponsor in the US
Senate for the bill removing the ratification deadline for the Equal
Rights Amendment, another one of our long-standing issue efforts, and
his leadership in that capacity is what we are praising in this email.
It is by no means a blanket endorsement of his career or a specific
endorsement for his re-election. He is the lead Senate sponsor for a
bill to get the long-overdue ERA Amendment passed, and we acknowledge
his leadership on this issue.

Not to get too much in the weeds, but PDA's national endorsement
policy--both of legislation and for candidates--comes from the ground
up. In the case of US Senate candidates, PDA members in the entire
state are polled after local chapters agree in principle and after the
candidate completes an exhaustive questionnaire (this year I believe
it is about 15 pages in length with numerous and pointed queries about
the candidate's positions on international and domestic policy). To
the best of my knowledge, neither Ms Manning nor Sen Cardin nor
Maryland chapters have requested an endorsement in that Senate race,
nor have the candidates completed the questionnaire.

Mindful of our ability to affect races and of the limited number of
solid progressive candidates running for federal office, PDA does not
endorse in every federal race.

Finally, PDA issue teams meet by conference call monthly and work
behind the scenes, both inside and outside the Democratic party, to
further goals of peace, prosperity, and equality--all fairly
complicated concepts requiring more than absolutist statements to
achieve measurable progress toward these goals.

Here is the opening statement  from our "End Wars and Occupations"
issue team, as found on our web site pdamerica.org:

"Since 2001, terrorism and instability have increased wherever the
U.S. has intervened militarily. We call on the President and Congress
to rethink the false premises of an ever-expanding 'global war on
terror' in which Western-led alliances of absolute monarchs, corrupt
governments and proxy forces fight endlessly proliferating enemies in
more and more countries."

You can read the full statement at our web site by going to
pdamerica.org and clicking on the Issues page. It contains specific
details on our position, legislation we have endorsed, our
accomplishments, ongoing projects, and our coalition partners,
including the following organizations:

National Priorities Project (NPP), United for Peace and Justice
(UFPJ), Code Pink, Win Without War, Project Defense Alternatives
(PDA), US Labor Against the War (USLAW), Jobs NOT Wars Campaign, Peace
Action

On the Issues page of our web site, interested readers will also find
equally detailed assessments of PDA's goals and work in the following
areas:

Healthcare Human Rights
Equal Rights Amendment
End Corporate Rule
Stop Global Warming
Voter Access Protection & Election Integrity
Economic and Social Justice

In addition right now we are working very closely with a range of
organizations to get a clean DREAM Act passed, and I urge everyone
reading this email to call your US Representative and US Senators and
tell them to get this bill passed now, rather than allowing more young
people to lose their protections under DACA.

Again, I apologize for the length of this response,but hope that it
clarifies PDA's mission and approach to national politics.

The way for us to get more things done is for more people to become
actively involved in local chapters and in our issue teams. For the
latter, visit our web site at pdamerica.org. For the former, contact
me at deb at pdamerica.org or contact Kevin Sandefur at
kevin at sandefur.com. Central Illinois PDA meets monthly on the second
Wednesday, 1pm Milo's Restaurant. All are welcome at our meetings.

For a more progressive future,
