Every week, People’s Action shares actions you can take online and with our member groups
| On Saturday, millions of people took to the streets for No Kings Day, rejecting Trump’s authoritarian showmanship and billionaire rule. From coast to coast, we stood up for a democracy rooted in care, not cruelty. While Trump staged a $45 million dollar flop of a military parade, we mobilized for something real: a multiracial democracy rooted in justice, care, and people power. Now, the work continues. At People’s Action, we’re not just reacting to the chaos of moment—we’re organizing. We’re training new leaders, taking on the budget fight, and bringing millions more into this movement. Here’s how you can plug in this week. Let’s go! People’s Action |
| EVENT: Housing NOT Handcuffs One year ago, the Supreme Court’s Grants Pass decision made it even easier for cities and states to arrest, ticket, or otherwise criminalize homelessness. All across the country, communities are rising up to say NO! to Grants Pass, so everyone has a right to live in a home with dignity. Join U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), members and experts from VOCAL-US, People’s Action Institute, the Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP) and the National Homelessness Law Center (NHLC) to find out what you can do right now to join the fight to ensure homes and dignity for all. TODAY—June 17, 8 p.m. EDT |
| Take Action: Demand Homes, Not Handcuffs Since the Grants Pass 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, 8 p.m. EDT R.S.V.P. now to save your spot |
| 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. |
