Welcome to
Progressive Action for the Common Good

As progressives, we empower people to take action for positive change and social justice by coordinating a network of community forums and events aimed at educating and engaging citizens to work for the common good of all. Our core values are Social Justice, Empowerment, Diversity, Sustainability and Community.

Note: If  the Quad City schools close due to weather (snow or cold), all PACG meetings and events​ (except those meeting on Zoom) will be canceled. Check here for school closings.

Covid Information

We continue to monitor the novel coronavirus pandemic. Board member, Dr. Alta Price, MD, asks that we follow CDC guidelines regarding mask-wearing. Fully-vaccinated people at out-of-doors events are not required to wear masks, but may choose to do so.

Events listed on our website and calendar will clearly state whether they will be in-person, via Zoom or phone-in.

We can set up Zoom meetings on behalf of members or affiliates. Email us at qcprogressiveaction@gmail.com.

Calling  your Member of Congress is as easy as 1, 2, 3...

1.   Dial your Member of Congress (MoC) - These are your two Senators and one member of the House of Representatives. All three have offices and phone numbers in both Washington DC and in your local area. Find your representatives' contact information here.

2.   When someone answers, do the following:
             tell them your name
             state that you are a constituent
             state the issue that you are calling about (for example, the ACA)
             express your views on the issue; ask that your MoC vote (for or against) it
             say thank you. Always be polite!
             Leaving a phone message with the above information is also helpful.

3.   Hang up. Then follow up by finding out how your MoC voted. You can call later to express how you feel about  that.
