“We think to really get things across the finish line, you have to be in conversation with people who do not see eye-to-eye with you.”
The Corporate Plot to Upend Democracy
In our new report, People's Action and Dēmos team up to reveal how corporations and the ultrarich are spending millions to derail President Biden’s Build Back Better plan.
We zero in on who is spending big to stop the Biden plan in key sectors: taxes, drug pricing, healthcare, housing, the environment, and immigration.
At the same time, all across the country, People's Action members are taking this message to the doorsteps of corporations to tell them we’ve had enough.
In this Build Back Battle, the people will win!
Right now, 105 million people face eviction because of COVID-19. That's why we're calling for a National Tenants' Bill of Rights, based on what millions of tenants tell us they need, to confront this crisis and build the foundation for safe, sustainable and permanently affordable housing for everyone.
EXPAND MEDICARE NOW
END THE OVERDOSE CRISIS, END THE DRUG WAR
For fifty years, our government spent billions on a failed War on Drugs. The result? More preventable overdose deaths than ever. People's Action demands a new approach that saves lives. There is a better way.
The Next Move, a podcast hosted by George Goehl, asks a seemingly simple question: what is organizing? Getting the answer right matters, especially right now.
In Season Two, George digs in with eight top organizers, including Alicia Garza of the Black Futures Lab and Stephen Roberson, organizing director of Community Voices Heard, building on his Season One conversations with folks like the Movement For Black Lives' Maurice Mitchell and author Heather McGhee.
AN END TO CHILD POVERTY IS WHERE WE START
The Child Tax Credit, which sends families as much as $300 per child every month, can cut child poverty in half. That's why it should be permanent. But it's only the start of what we can do together.
People's Action demands Congress create millions of good-paying, sustainable jobs and resist attempts to weaken President Biden's $4.7 trillion effort to #BuildBackBetter.
GROUNDBREAKING RURAL AND SMALL-TOWN ORGANIZING
Relief, Recovery, and Reimagination
The COVID-19 crisis makes it clear that our economic and political systems don’t take care of anyone but big corporations and the wealthy few–and that's just as true in rural America as it is in big cities.
As the organization running the largest progressive organizing project in the country, People's Action just released its vision for Relief, Recovery, and Reimagination for rural communities and small towns.
Canvassing That Works
People’s Action recently announced the dramatic results of an organizing experiment in small-town America, revealing that a new “deep canvassing” model can effectively counter the right’s use of strategic racism.
