OUR MISSION
The purpose of the Progressive Democratic Women's Caucus is to engage progressive democratic women and non-binary individuals in the political process by educating, mentoring, networking, recruiting, endorsing, fundraising, and advocating for issues. We share the values of equality for women, commonwealth for the common good, and progressive democratic social and political values.
PDWC encourages Progressive Democratic women and non-binary individuals to engage in the political process and run for office. Women across the state are not adequately represented. Our goal is to correct that situation and help make a difference. PDWC recruits democratic women to run for local and state political offices and gives them the tools and support to develop effective campaigns.

Foreword: Progressive Democratic Women’s Caucus-PAC and PACs
Progressive Democratic Women’s Caucus-PAC (PDWC-PAC) is an independent, non-affiliated political action committee (PAC). Like all PACs, PDWC-PAC engages in a variety of fundraising activities and pools monetary contributions from members and other donors to contribute to candidates who share its goals and to support legislation that furthers its priorities.
Affiliated PACs are established by organizations – e.g., businesses, trade groups, unions. In contrast, non-affiliated PACs like ours are formed by groups of like-minded people who share an ideological mission and don’t accept corporate money. As a non-affiliated PAC, we may endorse candidates in primary and general elections.
While campaigns have limits on the amount of money they can accept from individuals, PACs may make larger contributions. Also, PACs may accept unlimited donations from members and donors and pool those resources to better support candidates and issues. As a result, PDWC-PAC can have a greater impact on elections and public policy.
