We Need a People's Bailout NOW

Poor and working class people should not suffer due to the greed and neglect of powerful interests during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unfortunately, public officials propped up Wall Street and corporations first. The meager support for working class people is running out while the Senate does nothing.

We need a People’s Bailout NOW.

Tell the Senate: DO YOUR JOB

People's Action on George Floyd Murder

“Public officials cannot be allowed to wait until people are protesting in the streets before they take action. There’s no excuse for the do-nothing responses of public officials in the face of white supremacist violence against black communities.

Act NOW to stand against police violence.

What role can our government play in making our lives better? And what role can we play in our government? Heather McGhee, Distinguished Senior Fellow and former President of Demos, is just the person to answer these questions.

In this episode, George talks to Heather about building on our gut-level interconnectivity towards a more inclusive future.

Building a Movement in Rural America

Our report, "Win Rural: How to Build a Progressive Populist Political Movement in Rural and Small-Town America," provides a path towards a new “great majority” -- multiracial, working class communities across rural, small-town, suburban and urban areas.

Media Coverage

"One of the gifts of the People's Action report is that it is based on more than 115,000 conversations in 15 states with actual rural voters...[R]ural voters emerge a bit from the haze of caricature and turn out to be a rather complex, diverse and politically-moveable lot."
