Announcements
Our group is growing leaps and bounds! Folks understand that with love in our hearts and hard work, we will reclaim our nation from the cruelty, chaos, and confusion. And we are having fun making impactful changes in our community! In case you missed it, this past week was busy!
People Power United joins the Interfaith Alliance, advocates, and groups to send a letter to Congressional leaders to strongly oppose any amendments proposed to the appropriation bills that are anti-LGTBQ+.
People Power United joins advocates and groups to urge Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to force members to recuse from cases when there is a conflict of interest.
People Power United joined over 400 local, state, and national groups to send a message to President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas to protect immigrant families by redesignating TPS for El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras & Nepal, & designate/redesignate TPS for other countries that qualify, including Guatemala & Venezuela.
In response to the United Auto Workers strike, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - joined several other organizations to send a letter to the Big 3 Auto CEOs.
Please note some of the calls-to-actions we share do ask for additional information, i.e. the office of the president and vice-president request a phone number to submit a comment, sometimes they will ask for this information for each and every action. OUR GROUP DOES NOT SHARE DATA, we only directly forward your comment, letter, petition, etc to the recipient. We are about people power, and not spamming, or utilizing your data in a harmful manner. If you are uncomfortable providing a phone number we recommend getting a Google voice number (they are free) and using that for your activism efforts. Some folks have reached out frustrated that the titles/pronouns differ based on the target you are writing. There is also some angst regarding the subjects. Unfortunately our targets all require these formats. It is really troubling they can not acknowledge members of our community or make it easier to pick a subject. People Power United is committed to holding leaders accountable and we will continue to advocate for these changes.
Our members took over 17,000 actions last week.

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 Woodward Garcia, People Power United
