Good Morning to all my rowdy, change-making friends! I just got a report from Google about visitors to our People Power United website, and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw some folks asking, "Is People Power United legit?" What a great opportunity to share who we are with our new subscribers and answer some of the common questions we’ve been getting lately. So, let’s dive in!
First, to anyone wondering: yes, we are absolutely legit—legitimately powered by people, not special interests. Here’s the deal: we don’t take donations. You won’t find us on Charity Navigator because we’re not a C3 or C4 nonprofit organization. We’re a 100% grassroots-driven movement, fueled by volunteers who believe in the possibility of change and are actively making it happen. Nobody here is paid; we’re all just passionate individuals working together for a better future.
Our work includes holding leaders accountable through letters, petitions, phone calls, emails, office visits, and more. We also show up where our communities need us most, providing outreach and support to uplift people power champions and make a difference on the ground. Check out our 2023 recap post1 or the images above to see how impactful our scrappy People Power United group is!
And here’s something we’re really proud of: our Substack newsletter is completely free because we believe information is power, and everyone should have access to it. If you want to go a step further, upgrading to a paid subscription helps fund our outreach efforts—but no pressure! Together, we’re proving that change happens when people come together, share knowledge, and take action. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
