We are stronger when we band together and advocate for the rights of each other.
We can not overcome the division, the hatred, the bigotry if we do not unite as a collective force for good.
We are stronger when we band together and advocate for the rights of each other.
Every day, I receive hate mail, threats, and crazy ramblings, which is a reminder of how much work we have to do!
We must push back against tribalism; it's dangerous and partly responsible for most world conflicts.
When we fight for rights and freedoms on an issue one day that is not your issue, it does not mean fewer rights and freedoms for you. It's not pie, you will not get a smaller slice of justice. Your issue matters, your voice matters! If you quickly search for the issue you care about, you will find our People Power movement/efforts there.
We can not overcome the division, the hatred, the bigotry if we do not unite as a collective force for good. I understand we may not agree on all issues, but there are many issues we can agree on, and on those, we welcome your help and support.
Shout out to all of you!
I want to shout out to everyone who sends me a message about grammar issues, spelling errors, or an error. I am grateful for you having my back. Someone said, "You need to let your staff know," but we have no staff as a people power group. No budget for fancy copywriters. It's just me- a mom and community member, in between life, trying to get the word out to you amazing People Power United members. Again, I am grateful for helping make People Power United better!
People Power sends a letter to members of Congress to protect whistleblowers
People Power United has joined other groups to call on Congress to pass the Expanding Whistleblower Protections for Contractors Act (S. 1524), which would ensure that the government contractors and grantees are in the best position to fight against fraud, waste, and abuse working protections to blow the whistle.
Here is the letter we are asking People Power United members to send to their member of Congress:
Dear Member of Congress,
As a member of People Power United, we believe that whistleblowers who expose fraud, waste of funds, or abuse of authority in federal spending should be able to exercise their right to free speech without fear of retaliation.
Whistleblowers are crucial in keeping the government accountable, but their rights have been threatened. Congress must take immediate action to protect these rights.
I urge you to support and champion the Expanding Whistleblower Protections for Contractors Act (S. 1524) or similar house bill, which would ensure that the government contractors and grantees are in the best position to fight against fraud, waste, and abuse working protections to blow the whistle.
Regards,

I believe in the power of the people. I have seen the love and determination of folks stepping up to write letters and postcards to voters, signing petitions and letter campaigns, making calls, sending texts, hitting doors, and dropping literature. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices. - Laurie Woodward Garcia, People Power United
