🗽Protect Democracy
🗽Stay informed with daily news updates to hold our leaders accountable and protect democracy. A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.
Together, we can realize a democracy that represents, reflects, and responds to all of us.
For far too long, special interests, ultra-wealthy donors, and vote suppressors have dominated our politics and attempted to silence the voices of everyday Americans, especially in Black and Brown communities.
America's democracy is under attack as the MAGA agenda seeks to undermine our democratic institutions, erode the rule of law, and strip away the rights that ensure every voice is heard and every vote counts. Join us to champion our rights, freedoms, and democracy, hold our leaders accountable to the people's will, and inspire voters to make a meaningful difference.

Despite the gaffes, despite his views on women, despite his distaste for democracy and despite an insurrection, voters just didn’t care. For reasons that I’m sure will be studied for decades, when he speaks, people listen. When he speaks, people believe him.

Scared of another Trump term? Here’s how it could work out better than you think.
Boston Globe By David Scharfenberg
Most would-be authoritarians fail to destroy their countries’ democracies, and the handful who have succeeded did so with overwhelming public support — think 80 or 85 percent. Trump will never get that kind of backing.
Opinion: Democrats have one way to stop Trump in GOP Senate. You can thank Sinema for that.
Detroit Free Press By Laurie Roberts
Democrats said Sinema was wrong to protect filibuster Democrats were aghast when Sinema and Manchin held firm on the filibuster after Joe Biden became president, refusing to ditch the procedural rule to pass a voting rights bill in 2022.

Vladimir Putin welcomes Trump’s return not only because it makes his life immeasurably easier in his determination to subjugate a free and sovereign Ukraine but because it validates his assertion that American democracy is a sham—that there is no democracy. 9
People Power United’s Statement on Protecting Democracy
In response to recent MAGA shenanigans to suppress votes and stop voting rights bills like the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act from passing, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:
“America's democracy is under attack as the MAGA agenda seeks to undermine our democratic institutions, erode the rule of law, and strip away the rights that ensure every voice is heard and every vote counts. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices,” said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United.
People Power United will continue to oppose such harm to our community and champion civil rights for all.
Join us to build People Power! Together, we can champion our rights, freedoms, and democracy, hold our leaders accountable to the people's will, and inspire voters to make a meaningful difference.
