STATEMENT - People Power United's statement on the former President Donald Trump's campaign for President
🗽A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 21, 2024
In response to the 91 criminal charges, multiple court cases, and financial desperation of former President Donald Trump's campaign for President, 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. In recent days, he has increased his bigoted attacks on immigrants, asylum seekers, Jewish Americans, people of color, and more.
People Power United members stand up each and every day for people experiencing poverty or people with low incomes. Having few resources is OK, as with former President Trump. However, being cash-strapped puts our former President in a precarious position and ultimately threatens national security. Additionally, there is nothing presidential in attacking people who call America home. Past and future presidents should work towards solving problems, not spend their days creating chaos.
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.
