Event Overview
Progressive Central 2024: A Milestone in Activism
Progressive Central 2024, hosted by Progressive Democrats of America in coordination with our partners The Nation Magazine, The Arab-American Institute, and Operation Rainbow/PUSH, will take place in Chicago on August 18-19, 2024. This event is a unique opportunity for progressives to gather, discuss, and strategize on key policies and election strategies. It’s not just a convention; it’s a celebration of 20 years of relentless activism and a pivotal moment for the progressive movement.

This year, we’re focusing on the critical role the progressive movement will play in the upcoming elections and celebrating our two decades of impact. Join us to be part of this historic event and help shape the future of our democracy.
