Power to the People

America’s 250th must be more than fireworks. It must be more than parades, flags, speeches, and patriotic slogans from politicians who praise freedom while stripping it away. It must be more than a celebration staged by billionaires, corporations, and extremists who want the symbols of America without the promise of America. The People’s 250 must be a recommitment: America belongs to all of us. Fo...

What does people-powered democracy demand right now? In this episode, People Power United examines the growing national concern around ICE and Department of Homeland Security enforcement, the human cost to families and communities, and why millions of Americans are calling for real accountability before any additional funding is approved. We explore the impact of aggressive enforcement on safety,...

This has been a heavy start to 2026. As ICE and Homeland Security push the Senate for millions more in funding, communities are already facing escalating abuses—from families torn apart and long-time residents detained, to shocking acts of violence during enforcement operations. Yet even in these painful moments, we refuse to surrender our humanity. History shows that when we act together with cou...

Freedom Over Fascism Means Putting People First Friends, our tax dollars should serve the common good — protecting families, caring for veterans, seniors, children, and ensuring dignity for everyone who calls this country home. When that promise is broken, democracy itself is weakened. Today, taxpayer dollars are being funneled to Big Oil and corporate interests while life-saving programs are cut....

Trump’s Word Means Nothing Donald Trump says he won’t fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Don’t believe him. We’ve seen this movie before. First comes the denial. Then the threat. Then the pressure campaign. And now—right on schedule—the escalation: Trump has moved to put Powell under investigation , signaling that his earlier reassurances were never meant to be taken seriously. This isn’t l...

To the people of Greenland, We write in solidarity on behalf of People Power United , a people-powered movement in the United States that champions progress, democracy, and power to the people .

Millions of Americans reject authoritarian politics and stand with the principle that...

America, be brave—because you already are. We've seen your courage on the streets, in the courts, and in communities where ordinary people refused to stay silent. From veterans standing up for freedom over fascism, to parents and students demanding gun safety after Parkland, to thousands showing up when Roe fell and standing in defiance of Kings—this is what bravery looks like. Our power doesn’t l...

🎙️ Power to the People: Standing Tall Against Fascism and Fear We dive into Power to the People: Standing Tall Against Fascism and Fear — exposing how the Trump administration is misusing the work of artists, from Norman Rockwell to Taylor Swift. This isn’t patriotism—it’s propaganda. Such an assault on creativity violates the law, disrespects art, and insults the very spirit of democracy. It’s ti...

Friends, Republicans—led by Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, and their billionaire backers—are holding our nation hostage. But what’s worse is when Democrats join them. Yesterday’s Senate vote proved it again: Dick Durbin (IL), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Maggie Hassan (NH), Tim Kaine (VA), Catherine Cortez Masto (NV), Jacky Rosen (NV), John Fetterman (PA), and Angus King (I-ME) sided with Trump and Republica...

Friends, we are at an inflection point. The Trump administration’s Project 2025 agenda is deliberately dismantling one of America’s most trusted institutions — the Social Security Administration. Through staffing cuts, office closures, and privatization schemes, they’re weakening the lifeline that millions of seniors, disabled Americans, and working families depend on. This isn’t mismanagement — i...

Friends, Today I want to bring two urgent issues to your attention. First: a fundraiser — and before you click away, hear me out. In all the years I’ve been writing this newsletter, I’ve only once asked you to support a specific fundraiser — that was for striking workers. This time, I’m asking you to consider contributing to Win Without War’s Know-Your-Rights billboard campaign , whose work has ne...
