About

The Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts is a group of concerned citizens organized to promote social justice, political reform, and progressive values throughout the Commonwealth focusing on local and state-level issues.

Electoral and Issue Advocacy

PDM members work together in our own communities and across the state to elect progressive candidates and to advance a progressive agenda at the state and local levels.

Networking and Training

We host local and statewide events, including trainings, forums, issues conferences, and receptions, to conect our members, help them develop their skills, and educate them about issues and candidates.

Work in Coalitions

PDM is an active member of key coalitions of progressive organizations, including MassAlliance (a coalition of more than two dozen leading progressive groups who work together to identify, support, and elect progressive candidates for office), Raise Up Massachusetts (a broad-based coalition of community, labor, and faith-based groups pursuing an agenda of key issues), and Mass Power Forward (a coalition advancing local, clean, renewable energy solutions). Together we strive to build progressive political power.
