Americans Desire Progress, Not Extremism

It is our duty to advocate for our rights and freedoms

It has been quite a week! Virginia Democrats secured a majority in both the House and Senate, while Ohio voters made their voices heard by voting to protect abortion rights. Additionally, Kentucky voters made the decision to reelect a Democratic governor and several Mom’s for Liberty school board candidates lost their races.

Earlier this week, the Supreme Court released a “code of ethics” and last night in the House of Representatives, Democrats (and a small number of Republicans) voted to keep the government open. Lastly, shout out to the Biden administration, today is the anniversary of the ever popular Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Let’s be clear: Americans Desire Progress, Not Extremism

Our families and communities are depending on us to show up and speak out. Healthcare, Social Security, Medicare, Childcare, Abortion Access, Environment, Gun Safety, World Peace, and much more are on the line. We will fail if we stay home and stay silent.

People Power United members believe in the possibility of change and do the work to make it happen. We become advocates for progress in our words and actions and we do the work to elect candidates that reflect our values and hold them accountable.

There are a lot of people who say they want change, but do nothing to affect that change. People Power United members are not all talk, we are walking the walk! 

Here are some quick-and-easy actions we can take to push for progress:

I believe in the power of the people. I have seen the love and determination of folks stepping up to write letters and postcards to voters, signing petitions and letter campaigns, making calls, sending texts, hitting doors, and dropping literature. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices. -Laurie

Pssst. Did you know? The true strength of America is in her people. You are the power!

• We must re-commit to doing the work to elect leaders who will respect our will, protect our interests, and govern in our name. And we must hold them accountable.

• We must push for leaders on the local, state, and federal levels to stand strong and protect our rights and our freedoms. And we must hold them accountable.

• Lastly, we must invest in our communities. Investments today in our children, seniors, workers, housing, healthcare, environment, and other areas, will strengthen our nation.

With love in our hearts and hard work, we can and will reclaim our nation from the cruelty, chaos, and confusion. Click here to join us.
