Every week, People’s Action shares actions you can take online and with our member groups
| Last weekend, thousands took to the streets for Families First actions in more than 80 cities across the country—demanding dignity, care, and a future where we all thrive. Together, we sent a powerful message: we won’t let Trump and MAGA extremists gut the programs our families rely on and tear apart our communities just to pad the pockets of billionaires and private prison CEOs. The fight is far from over. As Congress heads home for August recess, we have a narrow window to organize and turn up the pressure. The Big Ugly Budget is already threatening our health care, housing, energy assistance, and food programs—and now, House leaders, billionaires, and corporate CEOs are using the appropriations process to make even deeper cuts. Join us this week: ✅ Livestream events to build clarity and momentum ✅ In-district actions to demand members of Congress answer to us, not the ultra-greedy ✅ Phone banks to reach our neighbors and grow our power ✅ National rallies to demand care and justice for all |
| EVENT: The Big Betrayal—How We Fight Forward Trump and MAGA Republicans just passed the most extreme budget in modern history—gutting Medicaid, housing, food assistance, and more, while handing out giant tax breaks to billionaires, ICE and private prison contractors. But we’re not backing down. On Wednesday, July 30, a formation of national networks will be marking the 60th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid with a livestream event to expose the truth, share stories from the frontlines, and lay the path forward. This is our moment of meaning-making and movement-building. We’ll break down what’s in the bill, who’s behind it, and how we fight forward. July 30, 8 p.m. ET // 5 p.m. PT R.S.V.P. NOW >> ppls.ac/fightforward |
| ACTION: Demand Homes, Not Handcuffs Our country is facing the worst housing emergency since the Great Depression. Families everywhere are struggling to keep a roof over their heads—and now, Trump’s budget is threatening even more harm. As the appropriations process continues, Trump and House Republicans are pushing deeper cuts. ❗We need real solutions—not more pain. The Homes for All Act, championed by Rep. Ilhan Omar, would invest $1 trillion to build 12 million safe, affordable homes. Tell your Senators: Reject Trump’s cuts. Pass the Homes for All Act. Send your letter now → ppls.ac/homesnotcuts |
