PNC (Progressive Party) Endorsed – US House
[Progressive Party USA] Jerry Dickinson U.S. HOUSE — PA-18 - Jerry’s pathway to politics is not typical. Separated at a young age from parents who were far too poor and too sick to care for him, Jerry came up through Allegheny County foster care system.

As a Fulbright Scholar in Johannesburg, South Africa, Jerry mobilized the poorest of the poor whose slums were being gentrified by major corporations and developers. He litigated in South African courts to uphold their constitutional rights to housing and clean water.

When he returned to Pittsburgh, Jerry helped establish the first community land trust in a predominantly African American neighborhood that has been affected by increased investment by corporate developers. He has been on the front lines assisting marginalized groups to preserve affordable housing and mitigate the effects of gentrification.
And on, and on. Several more endorsements follow.
The first Progressive Party was Theodore Roosevelt’s vehicle when he parted ways with the Republican Party in 1912. Bernie Sanders was the most recent, in 2016, to revive the name for his presidential aspirations.

#1 As a Fulbright Scholar in Johannesburg, South Africa, Jerry mobilized the poorest of the poor whose slums were being gentrified by major corporations and developers.

In South Africa it's called economic progress, not gentrification. Plenty of open space for housing. It's the jobs industry and business have brought that are important. Little wonder he's no longer in South Africa. Perhaps he was encouraged to leave following the completion of his studies.

#3 Community organizer-on-the-make. Now he just needs to get him some freaky-deaky Alinskyite mentors, a ghost writer, and a book contract in which he can trash his 'rents.

#4 'Bird and Star' combination political symbology, always has been a bit off putting.
