We face a triple crisis

People in the United States and around the world face a triple crisis. Authoritarianism threatens democracy. The climate crisis threatens to displace millions from their homes. And there is a decline of civil society resulting from disconnection and despair.

Devastating Climate Crisis

Our planet is on fire. Unless we act now to curb climate change and end our dependence on fossil fuels, the future will not sustain life.

The Rise of Authoritarianism

Around the world, authoritarian leaders stoke conflicts and blame minorities and those who seek refuge for social problems.

Social Isolation

Civil society is weakening as people feel increasingly isolated and lose hope in the power of democracy to improve their lives.

The Organizing Revival is here!

The tools we need to rebuild our communities and defeat authoritarianism are here: the Organizing Revival is our call to share the best practices of relational, power-building community organizing to create a vibrant, multiracial democracy that works for all of us.

About Us

People’s Action builds the power of poor and working people in urban, rural, and suburban areas to win change through issue fights and elections. We are a national network of 40 state and local grassroots power-building organizations in 29 states, united in the work of building a bigger “we.”

Nine grassroots organizing networks came together in 2016 to form a powerful national organization with more than a million members to fight for our communities and win. Over five decades, we have won material improvements for the lives of millions of people, with victories that include the Community Reinvestment Act, Superfund, the Affordable Care Act, the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act and the MAT Act.

How we fight

These are our topline projects and campaigns that relate directly to how we drive the change we aim for. Check them out.

How we fight

How we win

To build a diverse and inclusive democracy that reflects the voices of all, we emphasize community-driven, power-building initiatives. The Organizing Revival is our effort to strengthen the movement for social justice with the best practices of community organizing so we can build a multiracial democracy that works for all of us, combat authoritarian overreach, and find solutions to the crises we face.
