Friends, I have some good news. All across this country, something powerful is stirring—the people are rising. We’re coming together—across race, age, and background—because we know that what unites us is stronger than what divides us. We see each other’s humanity. We know that none of us is truly free until all of us are free. And deep in our bones, we believe that every person deserves dignity, respect, and a real chance to thrive.
That belief is at the heart of People Power United. People everywhere are waking up to the truth: the promises made by a 34-time convicted felon—a man who may hold the title of president but has never led with integrity—will not be kept. And the Republican enablers in Congress? They’re not serving the people. They’re selling out our rights, gutting the rule of law, and robbing our families and children of the future they deserve—all to cling to power.
But we’re not sitting back. We’re standing up.
People Power United is showing up, speaking out, and building a grassroots movement that puts people over profit, democracy over dictatorship, and freedom over fascism. We know the stakes. And we know the strength of our collective power. That’s why we will keep rising—together.
Now, let’s be real: the road ahead will be bumpy. The next few years will test us. But we will not live in fear—because that’s exactly what they want. I heard a quote recently from Dolores Huerta:
“They may cut down the flowers, but they cannot stop the spring from coming.”
This movement for freedom and justice demands that we be clear-eyed—prepared to face an administration already willing to break laws, norms, and the Constitution. And yet, we must also be grounded in joy, community, and courage.
That’s why nonviolent discipline is non-negotiable.
We reject violence in thought, word, and action—even when provoked. We don’t aim to destroy our opponents. We aim to reveal injustice, win trust, and shift power through collective action.
History shows that discipline and moral resistance change the world.
We must speak out, show up, and build power.
We need to share our stories, speak our truths, and invite others into this work. We won’t win hearts and minds through memes alone—we win them through action, connection, and courage. Our movement is led by real people like you and I, showing up in real life, unafraid and united.
We must be loud and proud of our values.
We must call out those who hide behind masks or screens to intimidate and divide—like ICE agents terrorizing neighborhoods in anonymity. We believe in transparency, courage, and community. If we’re acting with integrity and standing for justice, there’s no reason to cower or hide behind keyboards. We lead in the open. We lead together.
So let’s keep building. Let’s keep growing. Let’s keep rising.
Because we are the spring.

As Trump and his allies push voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act and criminalize protest, we’re rising up in nonviolent resistance—because in America, the power belongs to the people.
This isn’t just a virtual rally. It’s a moral stand. It’s Good Trouble—alive and marching forward.
