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.

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."
