📢 How did we reach this level of corruption?
Their goal is clear: to seize power from the people and hand it to an elite few.
People Power United champions progressive values and power to the people. The 2024 election depends on us, and we are attempting to persuade people to vote for Freedom over Fascism. If you wish to support our efforts, please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber to our Substack Newsletter.
Friendly Reminder
You may have noticed that MAGA Republicans are accusing others of endangering former President and convicted felon Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans by associating their movement with terms like "dangerous" or "fascist." We must firmly state that violence has no place in America, and we condemn any attempts on the former president's life. At the same time, the actions of MAGA Republicans, including Donald Trump, are genuine threats to our rights, freedoms, democracy, and national security. We must label these threats for what they are while addressing them through peaceful but determined action. We must confront these dangers and protect our communities without hesitation or denial.
Speaking of imposters
Conservatives and MAGA Republicans want to removing pre-existing conditions, ban books, deny us our rights and freedoms, raise our taxes (to give tax breaks to their cronies), and force us to birth a pregnancy created by rape and incest.
They have also stacked the Supreme Court with political appointees who prioritize their beliefs over the Constitution, undermining its role as an impartial institution.
Americans should be alarmed by the Court's involvement in corruption, ethics violations, and extreme political agendas. Justices are actively working to eliminate the federal right to an abortion, obstruct efforts to combat climate change and jeopardize free and fair elections.
Their goal is clear: to seize power from the people and hand it to an elite few. To counter this, we must reclaim our People Power and overturn the harmful Citizens United decision, which unleashed a flood of dark money into politics.
Dark money continues to pose a long-term threat to our democracy. Wealthy individuals and special interest groups secretly use it to influence elections and distort political outcomes. They allow untraceable funding to strip away transparency and accountability, forcing politicians to serve their hidden donors instead of the public. This power shift warps our democratic system, giving the elite disproportionate influence over policies that should reflect the will of all citizens.
As dark money corrupts politicians, public trust in democratic institutions crumbles. Voters, seeing their representatives cater to secretive donors, lose faith in the system, which fuels cynicism, disengagement, and low voter turnout. This unbalanced influence silences ordinary citizens and grassroots movements, threatening the very principles of democracy—fairness, transparency, and equal representation for everyone.

Letter to the Editor:
What is the strongest incentive for voting? Survival. Look at the facts. This summer’s all-time heat record in Phoenix, Arizona was more than 100 days in a row of 110 degree weather. While Trump still clings to his policy of “drill, baby, drill.” A total disconnect from reality. Because the tipping point for irreversible climate change is now just two years away. In 2026. On April 10, as Reuters reported, the UN’s climate chief said “Governments, business leaders and development banks have two years to take action to avert far worse climate change.” We now face "exponentially escalating climate disasters" (Scientific American, April 5, 2024). Already, too many homes have burned, been destroyed in floods, fallen into rising seas. Insurance companies refuse coverage in many areas. We must fight for the right to survive! To avert extinction, we must vote for VP Harris and her transition to renewable energy.
Bravo and thank you! Valuable resources!
