Overview
Progressive Victory advocates for progressive issues within the Democratic Party. The group primarily engages in internet-based activism.[5]
They work with popular livestreamers, such as Vaush, to share progressive ideas and build a common following.[2][4][3][6] Drzymala has said that the back-and-forth conversation of a livestream, as opposed to the one-sided nature of a stump speech, can change someone's mind about a political issue.[6]
Progressive Victory, in addition to its internet activism, has been successful in hosting in-person canvassing events. The PAC has held several events for progressive candidates, including ones in Ohio, New York, and Nevada.[1][2][7]
Activities
In February 2024, Progressive Victory held a canvassing event in Cincinnati, Ohio in collaboration with the content creator Destiny.[2] Over 300 volunteers and 20 livestreamers were in attendance.[6]
In June 2024, the group held a rally for New York representative Jamaal Bowman.[7]
The organization coordinated a livestream event where Bernie Sanders would appear on stream with Pokimane and Valkyrae on October 22, 2024. Celebrities, including Mark Hamill, Hank Green, and Mark Cuban also made an appearance to support Kamala Harris for president.[8][3]
