'''Progressive Citizens of America''' ('''PCA''') was a [[social-democratic]] and [[democratic socialist]] American political organization formed in December 1946 that advocated [[Progressivism in the United States|progressive policies]], which worked with the [[Congress of Industrial Organizations]] (CIO) and allegedly the [[Communist Party USA]] (CPUSA), as a precursor to the [[Progressive Party (United States, 1948)|1948 incarnation of the Progressive Party]]. It also led to formation of a counter group called [[Americans for Democratic Action]] (ADA), formed in January 1947 with progressive domestic views but anti-communist and interventionist foreign policy views, that split [[Modern liberalism in the United States|liberals]] and nearly cost [[Harry S. Truman]] the [[1948 United States presidential election]]. |
