| The fight to hold the members of Congress who voted for the MAGA Murder Bill accountable starts now. Trump and MAGA Republicans signed their Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching budget into law last week. Despite immense pressure from families, small business owners, vets, and seniors, Republicans in Congress chose Trump and billionaires over their constituents, and refused to do right by the people they represent. The full, devastating impact of Trump’s bill will not be felt immediately, but some of the impact will be felt very soon. The most devastating Medicaid and SNAP cuts won’t take effect until after the midterms, and the tax cuts for billionaires and corporations occur quietly, but the hell that Trump unleashed in Los Angeles will spread to communities around the country right away. We’re facing the most brazen assault on our families, our freedoms, and our future in generations. It’ll take organized, ongoing and nonviolent noncompliance to push back and prevail. The MAGA Murder Bill surges $170 billion of our public dollars for ICE and border patrol to terrorize and militarize our communities. Trump and his regime of billionaire-backed bullies are attacking our democracy, and they’re getting bolder and more dangerous. We the People can stop this, but it’ll take more than just on single days of mass action—it’ll take organizing every day, in every community. Together we win. Organize! Organize! Organize! We aren’t going anywhere, People’s Action |
| Our country is experiencing the worst housing emergency since the Great Depression. Families in every zip code are struggling to pay their rent or mortgage, and far too many are living on the brink of eviction. In the face of this crisis, President Trump is asking Congress to slash the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) budget by $33.6 billion, or a whopping 44%. This is projected to force 9 million of us into homelessness. We need solutions at the scale of need. Fortunately, there is a bill that offers one: The Homes for All Act, introduced by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) provides $1 trillion in funding over 10 years to create 12 million new safe and affordable homes. Use this link to tell your member of Congress to oppose cuts to housing, fully fund HUD, and co-sponsor the Homes for All Act right away! |
| President Trump just signed into law the biggest transfer of wealth from working people to the ultra wealthy in American history giving the top 0.1 % close to $300,000 back in taxes. At the same time, working people are struggling with a crisis of affordability. Join us on Monday, July 14th at 4:00 pm Eastern for the virtual launch of the Extreme Wealth Center, a new initiative to better understand and more effectively confront extreme wealth concentration in the United States! This interactive webinar, organized in partnership with People’s Action Institute and Americans for Tax Fairness, coincides with the 235th anniversary of Bastille Day and will examine how extreme wealth is undermining our society and outline solutions for taxing the ultra-wealthy. Join our Bastille Day Call to Dismantle Extreme Wealth! |
| Supported by Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, this is an introductory training on how authoritarianism takes root – and how people-powered movements have effectively fought back. The training looks at how nonviolent movements around the world have responded to leaders who seize power in authoritarian ways and the most effective tools and tactics to utilize in these moments. It offers frameworks to understand this moment at home, and incorporates interactive conversation with others to help create community and build our resistance movement. Together, we’ll learn how to take on authoritarianism, protect our democracy, and build the kind of organized, people-powered movement we need to win — no matter what Trump and his allies throw at us. Gain practical tools for nonviolent resistance, deep organizing, and rapid response tactics that have worked in other countries facing similar threats. Join us virtually on July 13th, and let’s show Trump and MAGA Republicans that we’re ready, united, and unafraid: REGISTER NOW |
