Progressive Democrats of America took a huge step forward March 23-25, starting on Capitol Hill Friday morning and afternoon, then at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) David A. Clarke School of Law in Washington DC. We've come so far since our birth in Roxbury, Mass. a few years ago, and we marked another milestone together this weekend.

The weekend began early with exciting meetings with members of Congress and key staffers Friday afternoon. We walked the halls lobbying on the supplemental appropriations bill and other important issues.

After hearing the disappointing news, we regrouped and began planning our next steps.
