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.

    *Committee is Still in Formation

    Eunice is running for Governor's Councilor, District 5 to leverage her 10+ years in public service and community engagement to help bring more transparency to the office and resources to the district.

    She is running because she knows first-hand what it’s like to be disregarded and overcome barriers to make an impact. We need leadership that will not just listen to the community but will work proactively with the community to bring change. A community advocate who will enhance public access to council meetings, vote to confirm judges that will protect our rights, and elevate the reach of the council to better serve the Commonwealth. This is why she is running to be your Governor's Councilor.

    A donation of $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or an amount that is meaningful to you will help us make our dream a reality.
