Friends, I am often asked, "Who is People Power United?'

Instead of telling you who People Power United is, let me show you.

I have the honor of sharing your stories and concerns and providing ways for us to take collective action to champion progress and power to the people.

Collectively, without fundraising or getting money from a grantor, we, the people of People Power United, took hundreds of thousands of impactful actions this past year. We just hit two milestones: one year on Substack, became a Best Seller, and hit 250,000 members.

This was not an accident; this was a dedication by all of you to take a daily meaningful action and collectively championing progress and power to the people. Our challenge is great, and our opponents are formidable, but I have faith in our People Power. Thanks for being here!

In case you missed it, the past month was busy:

We created Power to the People a daily livestream for members seeking movement news and actions on Substack at 11 AM Eastern - 10 AM Central - 9 AM Mountain - 8 AM Pacific. Power to the People—a community gathering space where everyday people speak out, show up, build Power, and demand a government that works for us—not corporate elites or only those with privilege, power, or wealth. This is our space, and we’re here every single day—unpacking the headlines, organizing strategies, and lifting up movements that power our fight for justice and democracy.

We initiated a letter of support for the people Greenland and their leaders.

We started a letter campaign asking for Congress to stop the attacks on our children.

We sent thousand of letters of support to the people of Ukraine and their leaders.

We completed our Postcards to Voters campaign for Florida House race one and sent thousands of postcards to voters. We are ramping up a new campaign on April 1st.

This past week, we published the following informative pieces on current issues, including timely calls to action for our members.

Additionally, We published these newsletters for outreach on specific issues of interest to our communities:

And next week, we will be on the frontlines in DC, rallying and championing power to the people and uplifting the dignity of our Trans community members, Union members, and our reproductive freedom fight continues as we join the front lines in front of the Supreme Court.

Lastly, we are hosting and partnering on the following events:

Lastly we kicked off our Twenty (20) Minutes a Day Activism ask for everyone to commit to a daily act of activism for our rights, freedoms, rule of law, and democracy.

Call your Members of Congress at (202) 224-3121 and tell them:
1. In the United States, the rule of law is king—not Donald Trump. Every member of Congress must speak out against his attempts to undermine our courts and bypass the legal system and speak out against threats to our communities. It is critical to begin impeachment hearings immediately to investigate potential violations of the law, expose corruption, and address threats to national security.
