Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) is an Americanpolitical organization advocating liberal policies. The group was established by prominent Democratic Party leaders in 1947 in order to combat what those leaders perceived to be an acceptance of, or even an alliance with, American communists. The ADA's leaders considered communism (especially as practiced in the Soviet Union) to be both morally wrong and a threat to the United States.
