People Power United Condemns MAGA-Led Power Grab, Vows Relentless Resistance Against Anti-Voter "Save Act"
In response to the passage of the SAVE ACT in the US House of Representatives, People Power United - America’s largest grassroots group - issued the following statement:
Today’s passage of the so-called "Save Act" in the House of Representatives marks yet another troubling chapter in the ongoing assault on our democracy.
Rather than addressing the urgent needs of the American people — from creating good jobs and lowering costs to ensuring access to healthcare, housing, education, and clean air and water — MAGA Republicans in Congress, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, have chosen a different path. A path of obstruction, division, and deliberate suppression of the very voices they were elected to represent.
The Save Act is not about safeguarding elections. It is about silencing millions of eligible voters. By creating needless obstacles — especially for women who have changed their names, seniors, rural Americans, and the millions without a passport — this bill aims to make it harder for people to exercise their most fundamental freedom: the right to vote.
The cost is not just financial. It’s the erosion of trust in our institutions. It’s the deliberate exclusion of our neighbors, our families, and our communities from the decision-making process that shapes our nation’s future.
But we will not stand by.
People Power United remains steadfast in our commitment to defending our democracy and holding our leaders accountable. We will continue to fight for a government that honors every voice and respects every voter.
“There is no power greater than the power of the people," said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United. "We will not allow cynical political tactics to silence our communities. We will continue to push forward, protect our rights, and ensure our democracy reflects the will of the people.”
Our movement is growing. Our resolve is unshakable. And together, we will overcome every attempt to diminish our democracy.
