Every week, People’s Action shares actions you can take online and with our member group
| When asked if there was any price tag that would make Trump’s attack on Iran unaffordable, Trump’s treasury secretary said, “absolutely not.” Trump officials are now dismissing the costs of war in Iran on our communities, saying hurting “consumers” is the last thing the administration is concerned about. That’s how they think of us. We’re just “consumers,” walking wallets funding the billionaire elite. They’ll ask for $200 billion to fund their war and ignore us when we need money for health care, housing, or lower utility bills. It’s up to us to protect our people. And tonight, People’s Action Institute is bringing us together to do just that. Are you in? Join People’s Action Institute’s Hear America, Take Action launch event tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Central/5 p.m. Pacific! Then, use the resources below to keep the pressure on to get ICE out of our communities, keep families housed and together, and fight to fund health care, not bombs for an illegal war. |
| TONIGHT: Join the Hear America, Take Action launch While the people of this country struggle to pay bills and survive, the government is considering putting $200 billion towards war in Iran. It’s time to build a better (and different) future. We’re sick of living in a country that’s so unnecessarily divided. We want to feel connected, safe, and at home in our communities. People’s Action Institute’s Hear America, Take Action effort is about protecting our people. Are you in? R.S.V.P. to join us tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Central/5 p.m. Pacific. |
| Fund Health Care, Not War on Iran Politico reports that we may be spending up to $2 billion a day on this outrageous war against Iran. Remember when Trump and his GOP allies said we couldn’t afford to keep people healthy, housed, and safe, then they gave our money to billionaires in the Big Ugly Bill? We do! Tell Congress to stop the war on Iran and fund our health care! |
| Tell Congress: Rein in ICE and Border Patrol! We are still fighting hard to get ICE and Border Patrol out of our communities–replacing one MAGA figure with another at DHS is not enough. Congress is still negotiating over the bill that funds these agencies, and legislators need to hear from their constituents. Tell your elected officials that we demand civil rights protections and for them to slash funding for ICE. Contact Congress now. |
| Keep Families Together and Housed In another desperate bid to blame immigrants for their own policy failures, Trump and HUD are trying to kick “mixed status” immigrant families out of public and subsidized housing. It’s cruel, costly, and counterproductive—kicking 37,000 citizen children to the curb during a housing crisis and wasting millions on red tape instead of keeping people housed. Add your voice: urge HUD Secretary Scott Turner to stop trying to separate families and make them homeless. |
| Then, R.S.V.P. to our Keep Families Together Info Session On April 2nd, our virtual event will give you all the details on how HUD’s actions will hurt families & communities, and what you can do to fight back. Please invite family, friends & neighbors, and if you have any questions please contact Ann Pratt, a.pratt@peoplesaction.org. Register to attend today! |
| Help Us Keep Fighting: Donate to People’s Action The struggle for a country where we all can thrive has never been more important. Right now MAGA and the corporations funding them are assaulting our families, our freedoms, and our shared future. We will never stop working for our long-term vision of a healthy, healed country where we all have a voice, but we can’t get there without you. |
