Big thanks to Ayo Banjo for joining our Coffee Talk today for a conversation on the state of the Democratic Party, advancing a progressive agenda, and tackling the cost of living crisis locally and across California. Ayo is a progressive leader to watch, and we’re excited to keep building together.

Get your walking shoes ready. In Oct, we’ll be knocking on doors. We’d love for you to join.

The best part? We’ll provide you with the exact left-leaning houses to target, so you make the most impact. Even just covering your own block makes a real difference.

Let’s hit the streets together!

California’s voice in Washington is on the line. Without Prop 50, Republicans will redraw the rules to grab more power and weaken our representation. With Prop 50, we defend fair maps, protect democracy, and keep California’s voice strong.

PG Progressives came out in full force for this year’s Pride Parade. It was a beautiful day celebrating love, inclusion, and community alongside progressives from across Monterey County. With rainbows and butterflies, our message was clear: everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and loved.

Pride is about love, visibility, and the unwavering belief that everyone deserves to belong. Yet every year, hateful voices try to dim the light of the Pride flag in Pacific Grove, but we refuse to let them succeed.
We stand together in Pride and in fierce solidarity with our LGBTQ+ neighbors.
