People’s Action is building multiracial, progressive organizations in rural counties to counter white supremacy and corporate greed. Rural residents are uniting around issues like health care for all, public education, decarceration, immigrant rights and getting big money out of politics.

People’s Action is one of the largest and the fastest growing multiracial, progressive organizations in the country, with 48 member organizations in 32 states and more than a million people working for racial, gender, social and environmental justice.

About People’s Action

People’s Action is a national network of 38 state and local grassroots, power-building organizations united in fighting for justice. Our organization recently released a vision for a national Homes Guarantee that has already prompted major legislation from champions including U.S. Reps. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib. We operate the largest progressive rural organizing project in the country. Prior to endorsing Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, we completed a national forum series that The Nation called “the most in-depth, people-powered forum” of the 2020 cycle.”
