You would think after a white nationalist murdered 22 people and injured dozens more in El Paso, Donald Trump would lay off the hate - even just for a moment.
Apparently, he can’t. Or won’t. Trump is doubling down on division.
At People’s Action, we’re doubling down on unity.
Join us as we stand together against Trump’s hate.
Trump bets many Americans will follow his lead, and blame others for economic decline. In large parts of the country, gone is the sense that our children will do better than we did.
Instead, people are asking: “Who’s fighting for us?”
For the last 40 years, Democrats haven’t had an answer. They have failed to call out big corporations for hijacking our government, creating the biggest gap between the rich and everyone else in American history.
At People’s Action, we have an answer. We’re fighting, for every one of us. With nobody out, everybody in. Will you join us?
The other side blames immigration for the end of good jobs with solid benefits and health care. This sets off a race to the bottom that benefits the most abusive corporations — and hurts the rest of us even more.
Using fear to divide us is nothing new. Ten years ago, Over 500 ICE agents descended on a leather factory in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and detained 361 immigrant workers. When I arrived at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, children were crying as they learned their parents had been taken — and were unlikely to return.
People in New Bedford responded with compassion, bringing food, clothing, and other supplies to the church. Others worked diligently to find information about the detained workers.
Ten years later, the factory ICE raided stands empty. The corporation won — and the community was left holding the bag.
We saw through the lies then, and we see through them now: blaming others was just a ruse.
At People’s Action, we know who’s truly to blame. We’re standing up, and we’re standing together. Stand with us!
If we unite to take on the real cause of economic decline — a corporate class intent on becoming ridiculously rich at the expense of the rest of us — we have the power to create the change we so desperately need.
That’s why People’s Action is knocking on thousands of doors between now and 2020, recruiting more than 500 grassroots champions to run for public office at every level of government, and challenging the presidential candidates to stand up for people's values.
This is the heart of People's Action's work: bringing back hearts and minds, one conversation at a time. Back from fear, back towards hope.
We know we are strong when we stand together. Instead of taking Trump’s bait, we can come towards each other.
Then we can begin to bring back good jobs, expand affordable and quality health care, protect our air and water, and so much more.
We can do this – but only with your help. Will you help People’s Action so that together, we can build a brighter future?
Sincerely, George and everyone at People’s Action
