😐 Meanwhile, People Are Struggling

  Dear PowerPAC Supporter,   It’s not that people don’t care about democracy — it’s that they don’t see Democrats fighting for them:Rent is up more than 40% since 2020 Over 100 million Americans are in medical debtWages haven’t kept up with inflationSchools, transit, and childcare are crumbling 📉…

💸 Donors Are Still Writing Checks — But to What End?

  Dear PowerPAC Supporter,   While the messaging continues to fail, big donors are still funneling money into the same old Democratic Party infrastructure.  In the 2024 cycle alone, Democrats raised and spent over $2 billion, much of it on national committees, corporate consultants, and bloated a…

The deadline is July 1st. The time to act is now.

We’re almost there. Let’s close the gap.   Friend  -  We’re just weeks away from a critical election in San Diego—and Paloma Aguirre needs our support now more than ever.  This isn’t politics as usual. This is about preventing a MAGA takeover of the County Board of Supervisors—something that could…

⛽️ fuel the movement that fights to win

If you believe in lasting change, invest in it.   Friend -  We’re at a breaking point. Not just a political one, but a moral one. Working families are struggling. Black women in power are under attack. The voices of communities of color are being drowned out by billionaires and disinformation. And…

Paloma is under attack. Here’s how we fight back.

She’s not just in a race—she’s under siege.   Friend  -  Mayor Paloma Aguirre is exactly the kind of leader San Diego needs—and the MAGA right wing knows it.  That’s why they’re spending millions  to defeat her in a low-turnout, high-stakes special election on July 1st. They’re hoping we’re not pa…

🔵 Democratic Messaging Is Failing — So Why Are Donors Still Funding the Same Losing Playbook?

  Dear PowerPAC Supporter,   For years, Democratic leadership and top consultants have relied on one message above all else: "Trump is bad."  They’ve spent billions warning us that democracy is on the line, that the GOP is extreme, and that the stakes have never been higher.  And yet, even though…

Big stakes. Small dollars. Real impact.

San Diego is on the line.   Friend  -  There’s a major fight brewing in San Diego—and you can help tip the scales with just $5.  Mayor Paloma Aguirre is running in a special election for the County Board of Supervisors. This isn’t just a local race—it’s a battleground for control of the board and …

🌱there’s a way forward — if we build it together

This is how we WIN   Friend -  Our country is at war with itself.  Not always with bullets — but with policies, systems, and well-strategized silencing efforts that destroy lives.  From housing to healthcare, from disinformation to organized attacks on Black, immigrant, and queer communities — it’…

🛑 PowerPAC Statement on the Deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles

The MAGA regime is attempting a hostile takeover of our democracy—by force.   Friend -  The unleashing of the National Guard on immigrant communities and U.S. citizens in Los Angeles is not about safety. It’s about power. It’s about fear. It’s about targeting Black and Brown communities—again.  Le…

💪🏽We’re in a civil war — and we’re not backing down

  Friend -  This isn’t just about politics. It’s about survival. We are in a civil war. Not with cannons or armies — but with legislation, disinformation, and power plays that determine who eats, who votes, who breathes free. You’ve felt it:January 6th.Book bans. Black women leaders under constan…
