STATEMENT - People Power United's statement on the former President Donald Trump being found guilty of contempt in criminal court
🗽A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 1, 2024
In response to former President Donald Trump being found guilty of contempt in criminal court, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:
No one is above the law, and former President Donald Trump is showing how desperate he is to evade responsibility for his crimes or financial obligations. It is a sad day for America and the world when a former United States President has been found guilty of contempt of court. Former President Donald Trump does not respect everyday Americans, our laws, or our Constitution. Past and future presidents should work towards solving problems, not spend their days creating chaos.
With over 91 criminal indictments before him, we at People Power United will continue to hold him accountable for his actions. We applaud all Americans who serve our justice system - judges, lawyers, juries, and staff. We acknowledge our justice system is imperfect and a work in progress, but here at People Power United, we will wake up each day and work to make the system more equitable while providing accountability and justice for all.
People Power United will continue to push back against injustices and hold our leaders accountable to the people they serve. 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 GarcÃa of People Power United.
