John,

Trump has barely been in office 100 days, and his administration is already laying the groundwork to roll back our rights, gut Social Security and Medicaid, and hand control of our government to unelected billionaires.

If you’re angry, you should be. If you’re scared, you’re not alone. The question now isn’t whether the threats are real. It’s what we do about it.

At Common Cause, we’re not sitting back. We’re organizing. We’re building people power. And we’re doing it through The People’s Promise—a campaign all summer long to protect our democracy, hold leaders accountable, and fight like hell for the future we deserve.

That’s because soon, your senators and representative will likely vote on Trump’s plan to slash our safety net to pay for handouts to wealthy billionaires like Elon Musk. So between now and that critical vote, we’re reminding every member of Congress who they work for: us.

John, this isn’t just about who’s sitting in the Oval Office. It’s about organizing for the long haul: we need neighbors, organizers, truth-tellers, and volunteers committed to building a real, living democracy.

We’re using the same organizing muscle we’ve built fielding thousands of nonpartisan Election Protection volunteers to help voters cast their ballots — and now, we’re focusing that same energy and infrastructure into year-round mobilization efforts—in every corner of the country.

That means meeting people where they are—at churches, barbershops, libraries, community centers, and movie theaters.

We’re knocking on doors. Hosting town halls. Flooding phone lines. Battling anti-democracy legislation in statehouses and in Congress. We’re bringing more people into this movement than ever before—and we’re not letting up.

Because if we want an economy that works for all of us, a government that serves the people, and a democracy where every voice is heard, we have to build that power ourselves. Trump and his billionaire backers aren’t going to hand it over.

That’s the People’s Promise.

John, if that’s something you want to be part of—if you believe that real change comes from the bottom up, fueled by everyday people who refuse to back down—then we need you.

We won’t let Donald Trump hand our government over to billionaire oligarchs. Help us grow this grassroots movement and fight back. Consider chipping in $3 today >>
