Progressive Democrats of America

Building on Shirley Chisholm’s Legacy

U.S. Representative Shirley Chisholm (1924-2005) is a huge inspiration to us. Her life and career demonstrate in the clearest terms that Black History is American History.


Progressive Democrats of America celebrates the legacy and sterling example of Shirley Chisholm, a truly deserving recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, awarded posthumously by President Obama. Like her, we are, and ever strive to be, unbought and unbossed. 

PDA is all about building a grassroots populist progressive majority: join us in the movement PDA has been building since our launch in 2004.


We won't get big money from billionaires or super PACs. To win, we need help from small donors and activists like you! We welcome contributions of any size. Please consider making automatic recurring monthly contributions.
