Progressive Victory

Progressive Victory (PV) is an American progressive political organization and political action committee (PAC). It was founded in 2022 by Sam Drzymala and is known for progressive political organizing that combines online creator communities with electoral field work such as canvassing and voter outreach.

History

Progressive Victory was founded in 2022 by Sam Drzymala. The organization's affiliated federal committee, Progressive Victory PAC, is listed by the Federal Election Commission as an active "hybrid PAC (with non-contribution account)" registered on July 26, 2022. While the organization has worked with online creators Destiny and Counterpoints in the past, most recently they have worked and associated with Vaush and Hasan Piker.

Media coverage has described Progressive Victory as part of a broader effort by progressive activists to build political infrastructure in online spaces, particularly through livestreams and creator-led communities. In 2024, The Washington Post described the PAC as being focused on digital political organizing. According to Wired, Progressive Victory is a "group that works with streamers on get-out-the-vote initiatives".

Organizing model

Progressive Victory has been described as using internet personalities and livestreaming communities as a channel for political communication, voter persuasion, and volunteer mobilization. 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.

Coverage of the organization has placed it within a wider trend of campaigns and political groups attempting to reach younger audiences through alternative media, online creators, and livestream platforms rather than relying solely on traditional campaign communications. Coverage by WHSV on youth voter outreach during the 2024 election cycle identified Progressive Victory as one of the groups active in efforts to engage younger voters through civic-participation events and alternative political media.

Activities

In February 2024, Progressive Victory organized a House Canvass Project in partnership with political streamer Destiny. Following this partnership, Progressive Victory contributed to 1,600,000 total voter contacts and 340,000 door knocks, according to founder Sam Drzymala, in the year 2024.

In October 2024, Progressive Victory organized a Twitch stream featuring Senator Bernie Sanders and creators Pokimane, Valkyrae, AustinShow, and Sykkuno in support of Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. The Washington Post reported that the event was organized by Progressive Victory and framed it as part of Democratic efforts to compete for younger online audiences. Additional coverage of the October 2024 event appeared in Kotaku, which reported that the stream formed part of a broader Democratic effort to reach younger voters through Twitch and YouTube creators.

In late 2025, in collaboration with Vaush, Progressive Victory held both a canvassing event and an interview (led by Vaush) with Katie Wilson, nominee for Mayor of Seattle.

Concurrent with the 3rd No Kings protest on March 28, 2026, Progressive Victory hosted a virtual "Choose Your Fighter" rally which featured appearances by progressive and left-wing figures including Hasan Piker, Vaush, Krystal Ball and Ryan Grim of Breaking Points among others, as well as 2026 United States election candidates including Abdul El-Sayed.
