Every week, People’s Action shares actions you can take online and with our member groups
| Last week, Trump escalated his threats—sharing a meme about declaring war on U.S. cities while his MAGA allies pushed their billionaire-first agenda in D.C. But here’s the truth: our power is in how we show up together. Thousands hit the streets in D.C. and Chicago over the weekend to fight back against MAGA occupation in our cities. This week, we’re inviting you to join two critical fights: powering up our Fight Forward Phone Bank and turning out for the Make Billionaires Pay mobilizations on September 20. Together, we’ll connect with millions of our neighbors, expose Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, and show the world that the multiracial working class is ready to win. And if you want to sharpen your skills for these conversations, don’t miss the Deep Canvass Institute’s Foundational Skills Training on September 9–10. Here’s how you can plug in 👇 |
| TRAINING: Deep Canvass Foundational Skills Want to sharpen your organizing skills and connect with people in a deeper way? Join the Deep Canvass Institute’s Foundational Skills Training—a two-part virtual training hosted by People’s Action Institute. Deep canvassing was developed in the LGBTQ+ rights movement to help turn the tide on marriage equality. Today, it’s one of the most powerful tools we have to bridge divides and build a more caring country. Through storytelling, compassionate curiosity, and active listening, you’ll learn how to connect across differences and move people to action. Tuesday, Sept. 9 & Wednesday, Sept. 10 6–9 p.m. ET (both days) |
| PHONE BANKS: Fight Forward During the fight to stop Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, our Tax and Budget Fight phone banks brought us something powerful: deeper connection with people across the country. Together, we listened to our neighbors, lifted up their struggles, and helped thousands take action—patching them through to Congress to demand NO cuts to Medicaid, food, and housing. 🚨 WHAT’S NEXT? 🚨 We’re leveling up. This fall, we launch the Fight Forward Phone Bank—both in-person and online. From Labor Day to MLK Day, we’ll hold 1,000,000 deep listening conversations with multiracial working-class people across the country. We’ll connect around the daily struggles working people face, expose how the Big Ugly Bill harms our families, and lay the foundation to win big in 2026. 💥 Join us as we fight forward and turn disconnection into collective power—one conversation at a time. 💥 Thursday, Sept 11—6-8:30 p.m. ET |
| TAKE ACTION: Make Billionaires Pay Everywhere we turn, the crises are piling up: record-breaking heat, wildfire smoke, skyrocketing rents—and a tiny circle of billionaires is profiting off the mess while the rest of us scramble to keep families safe. The Trump administration just rammed through a mega-bill defunding our communities to give handouts to billionaires. Money that should fund childcare centers and paid family leave is instead funneled into tax breaks for the very corporations pouring carbon into the sky. On September 20, people across the country are taking to the streets to take on the billionaires. In New York City we’ll host an anchor march as political leaders from around the globe arrive for the UN General Assembly. This is a critical moment to show the world the U.S. will defy Trump and the Billionaires. Here’s how to get involved: ✅ March with us in NYC on 9/20 ✅ Organize an event in your community |
