Every week, People’s Action shares actions you can take online and with our member groups
| They’re testing what we’ll tolerate—we refuse to be silent. Los Angeles is under siege. ICE raids, National Guard deployment, community members ripped from their families, and union leaders arrested for speaking out. This isn’t just an attack on L.A.—it’s a test of how far they can go before we push back. This is the future Trump and his MAGA allies are trying to build: – Authoritarian crackdowns on immigrants and organizers – Militarized raids against working-class communities – A campaign to criminalize dissent and silence protest But L.A. is rising up—with nonviolence, courage, and care for one another. This week, we need to follow their lead. Across the country, we’re organizing, making calls, showing up in D.C., and standing against every attempt to divide, distract, or disappear us. This is about survival. It’s about solidarity. Let’s go! People’s Action |
| Take Action: Demand Homes, Not Handcuffs Last June, the Supreme Court ruled that it’s OK to arrest people for being homeless. Since that ruling, over 255+ new laws have been introduced to criminalize unhoused people instead of helping them. Now the House has passed a budget that would cut billions from housing programs—putting 9 million people at risk of losing their homes. We need your voice. Tell your senators: ✅ No HUD cuts ✅ No handouts for billionaires ✅ Pass the Gloria Johnson Act and protect our rights Send your letter now → ppls.ac/homesnotcuts |
| EVENT: Medicaid Cuts Kill—What You Can Do The Trump administration is pushing nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid—gutting care for 15 million people to bankroll tax breaks for billionaires. We’re not letting it happen. Join People’s Action Institute members and special guests from across the country to get the latest on the fight, hear what’s at stake, and learn what you can do right now to defend health care for working families. This is the largest upward transfer of wealth in our lifetime—and we’re here to stop it. Wednesday, June 18, 5 p.m. EDT R.S.V.P. now to save your spot |
| The Authoritarian Crackdown in L.A.—How We Fight Back Right now in Los Angeles, we’re seeing the future the MAGA movement is trying to force on all of us. This isn’t just retaliation—it’s a warning shot. Our communities will not be silenced. This is about protecting each other. Rejecting fear, control, and white supremacy. And building the multiracial, working-class democracy they fear most. We’re pushing back—with people power, solidarity, and an unwavering refusal to back down. Here’s how you can take action now: – Demand your city sever all ties with ICE – Donate to support immigrant workers under threat in L.A.: bit.ly/RaidSupport – Make art, raise your voice, stay connected—and keep organizing Protect each other. Resist authoritarianism. Keep showing up. |
| Tell the Senate: No Cuts for Billionaires: Working people made this the richest country in the world—and there’s enough for all of us, if billionaires and greedy corporations don’t steal it. Trump’s budget plan, his push to fire public servants, and his alliance with Elon Musk’s DOGE and GOP extremists are all part of a strategy to cut health care, food assistance, housing, and climate programs—just to hand massive tax breaks to the ultra-rich. The House just passed this cruel budget proposal. Now the fight moves to the Senate. If this becomes law, it will rip health care from millions, slash nutrition and housing support, and gut the programs our communities need to survive and thrive. Tell your Senators: Protect those you have sworn to represent. Vote NO on any budget that cuts care to fund billionaire tax breaks. Take action now: ppls.ac/stopthecuts |
| The GENIUS Act Is a Scam for the Super-Rich—Here’s How to Stop It We know your eyes might glaze over at the phrase “cryptocurrency bill.” But the GENIUS Act is not just about crypto—it’s about the oligarchy buying political power, propping up Trump’s grift, and endangering the economic stability of working people. The GENIUS Act creates a loophole-ridden regulatory framework for “stablecoins”—a type of crypto that’s anything but stable. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a leading voice on consumer protections, has warned this bill could cause the next financial crisis. While we were in D.C. fighting to stop brutal cuts to health care and housing, sixteen Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance this dangerous bill. And according to reports, Senator Gillibrand’s team even suggested supporting the bill could help her fundraise for Senate Democrats. This is exactly the kind of backroom deal-making that makes people lose faith in government—and we’re not going to let it slide. 🛑 The Senate votes again as soon as this week—and then the bill moves to the House. We still have time to stop it. Take action now → https://actionnetwork.org/letters/geniusact Tell your Senators and Representatives: Vote NO on the GENIUS Act. Stop the billionaire crypto bailout. |

| Recruit People’s Action Institute Volunteers: More People = More Power Health care and housing are human rights and basic needs.

Help us recruit volunteers. Wednesday, June 4, 3-5PM EDT |
| D.C. Action: Rally to Protect Our Care Our care. Our dignity. Our lives. It’s all on the chopping block.

Thousands of us from across the country are heading to D.C. to rally, march, and meet with lawmakers. We’re bringing the heat to protect Medicaid, Medicare, the ACA, reproductive care, and everything our families need to live with dignity. Elected officials will hear our stories—and feel our power.
