📢 Public Schools are not Sunday Schools
🗽America was founded on the principle of religious freedom, not religious coercion. -LW
America was founded on the principle of religious freedom, not religious coercion.
Our Constitution, the rule of law, and our rights and freedoms are under attack.
The U.S. Constitution enshrines the right to practice any religion or no religion at all.
This is a line that should not be crossed, yet it was. Yesterday, the Louisiana governor signed a law mandating that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public classrooms.1
Where does this attack on our freedoms stop? Should MAGA Christian Conservatives be allowed to mandate a new national religion? Daily prayers by our children? Should our children be tested on their abilities to recite the Ten Commandments?
The separation of church and state principle ensures that no person is marginalized or alienated for choosing not to participate in religious activities or for practicing another religion.
Our nation's strength lies in its diversity and commitment to the freedom of belief and expression. We must recommit to a nationwide movement prioritizing the rule of law, the Constitution, and our rights and freedoms. We must do the work to elect leaders and hold them accountable to the people's will. And speaking of accountability:
Today's Calls-to-Action

Our communities are stronger when we come together, united in purpose and determined to uplift everyone in our communities to vote and thrive. I hope you can join us at one of our upcoming People Power United events:
2024 Presidential Debate
This is it. Freedom vs. Fascism. It’s Trump versus Biden for the 2024 Presidential Debate. Rather than anxiously watching the debate alone, join us to watch the debate together and take action.
If you want to turn anxiety into action on the spot, we will also be writing Vote Forward letters and/or Postcards to Voters to inspire voters. Or just join us to watch the debate together.
Together we can inspire change and create a community where everyone can vote and thrive!

Postcards and/or Letters to Voters
We can inspire voters and make a meaningful difference, one vote at a time.
Join us to learn more about our postcard and letter-writing-to-voters program. No supplies are needed. We will go over instructions and our current campaigns. We write postcards/and or letters to targeted voters to increase turnout in close, critical elections nationwide.
Then, we will take our campaigns into our neighborhoods by writing postcards and letters to voters with our family, friends, and other community members.
People Power United champions progressive values and power to the people. We are a group of people who believe in the possibility of change and work to make it happen. Join us to push for Freedom over Fascism!

Progressive Issues Activism
Whatever our color, background, or zip code, most believe everyone deserves to live their best life. In this community, we will always speak out against racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, homophobia, misogyny, sexism, ageism, ableism, sizeism, transphobia, misogynoir, elitism, and bigotry!
We can not wait until the next election cycle; we must act now to protect our democracy. Join us to learn how to defend our vote and voice in our democracy. Join us for our next meeting to discuss the issues, what's at stake, and how to propel action so everyone can vote and thrive.
We must also push for strong leaders on the local, state, and federal levels to protect our rights and freedoms and hold them accountable.
Lastly, we must invest in our communities. Today's investments in our children, seniors, workers, housing, healthcare, environment, safe neighborhoods, and other areas will strengthen our nation.
Join us to push for big, bold solutions!
