Hope, Power, and the Urgency of Action
Friends, I know these are troubling times. Every day brings new attacks on our rights, our communities, and our democracy—driven by those who were elected to serve but instead prioritize greed and power. If you're feeling overwhelmed, know that you’re not alone. People Power United is a family of action takers fighting for freedom, and we’re here to support each other. Join us at an event, share your thoughts in the comments below, or join one of our chats. Together, we will find strength, solidarity, and a path forward.
Power does not concede without a demand. Every right we have was won through struggle—abolition, women’s suffrage, civil rights, and labor protections. None of it was given freely; it was achieved through organized, sustained action. Today, the fight continues as our 34-time convicted felon President Trump and MAGA Republican extremists work to dismantle democracy, strip away our rights and freedoms, and hand power to the wealthy, powerful, and the privileged. We must resist.
Action as the Key to Power
Action is the only language power understands. Phone calls, letters, petitions, protests, voting, strikes, boycotts, legal actions, civil disobedience, and more—these are actions that force those in control to listen. History shows that passive requests for justice are ignored, but persistent, strategic action creates change.
This week, we must take urgent action: reject unfit nominees RFK, Patel, Gabbard, and Project 2025 architect Russ Vought and push back against the SAVE Act, a dangerous attack on voting rights designed to silence millions. Fascism creeps in when good people stay silent. History warns us—when we fail to act, oppression thrives.
Where they seek to divide, we unite. Where they spread fear, we take action. Where they cultivate apathy, we refuse to give up. Hope fuels movements, inspires change, and reminds us that a better future is possible—but only if we fight for it. Don’t let the news paralyze you. Take breaks when needed, but never look away.
The time to act is now. Let’s show the world that when we stand together, people—not money—will shape our future.

Fascism does not arrive with fanfare; it creeps in through the shadows of apathy and the silence of good people who choose inaction. History warns us that tyranny thrives not only because of its loudest supporters but because of those who look away, trusting that someone else will act. This pattern has repeated itself throughout history, but we have the power to stop it.
Despite Donald Trump's presidency, let's be clear: he is no leader. Nearly 80% of people who call America home did not vote for him, and we cannot let his regime define us. This is our moment to build a resilient and inclusive movement capable of resisting the ambitions of the wealthy, powerful, and privileged few who seek to strangle our democracy.
Will you stand with us? Will you advocate for leadership that is competent, qualified, and guided by integrity? Join us to push back against corruption and to secure a future where America stands as a beacon of strength, stability, and justice. The time to act is now. Let's show the world the power of engaged citizens united for the common good.
Reject Russ Vought for OMB Director
Sign the petition and send a direct message to your Senator opposing Russ Vought's nomination. Then, call (202) 224-3121 and say:
"Hi, I'm a constituent from ________, urging the Senator to vote NO on Russ Vought's nomination as OMB Director. Vought's extreme policies endanger our democracy and national security. America needs qualified leaders committed to fairness and progress, not division and partisanship."
Stop RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard
Reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of HHS—a conspiracy theorist unfit to lead our nation's health efforts. Similarly, Tulsi Gabbard's ties to authoritarian regimes and Russian propaganda raise serious concerns about her suitability as Intelligence Director. Call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and demand they block these unqualified nominees.
Oppose Kash Patel for FBI Director
Sign the petition and then call your Senator at (202) 224-3121 and say:
"Hi, I'm a constituent from ________, urging the Senator to vote NO on Kash Patel's nomination as FBI Director. Patel's extreme views and actions make him a threat to our democracy, the rule of law, and national security. Please reject this nomination and support leadership grounded in unity and the greater good."
No On the Save Act
The SAVE Act poses a significant danger to our democracy by imposing overly restrictive voter ID requirements that would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. Click here to send a message and call your lawmakers in the Senate (202) 224-3121 and tell them to vote no on the Save Act.
Act now to protect our democracy and ensure our leaders are committed to the well-being of all Americans. Your voice matters!
