📢 Call to Action: Resist Fascism
Join People Power United for independent, people-powered news and grassroots action to defend our rights, freedoms, and democracy.
Friends,
We are living through a dangerous time for our country. Rights are under attack. Freedoms are being stripped away. Corruption, cruelty, and chaos are being forced onto working families, immigrants, women, LGBTQIA+ communities, disabled people, young people, elders, and everyone who believes democracy should belong to the people.
But here is the truth we cannot forget:
We are not powerless.
People Power United exists because silence is not an option. We help people understand what is at stake, who is being harmed, who is responsible, and what we can do next. We turn fear into action, outrage into organizing, and truth into people power.
And today, I am asking from the heart: please consider becoming a paid subscriber.
Free subscribers are deeply valued in this community. Every reader, every share, every action matters. But paid subscribers make this work possible.
Your support helps us publish independent news and action alerts, keep this work accessible to people who cannot afford to pay, and build a movement that is not funded by billionaires, corporations, or special interests.
We are powered by people.
People Power United now reaches more than 340,000 digital subscribers, a level of reach comparable to some major news outlets. That means our reach is up there with major news outlets like the Los Angeles Times (243,000 digital subscribers), The Boston Globe (260,500 digital subscribers), USA Today (142,212 digital subscribers), and the Chicago Tribune (152,255 digital subscribers) when it comes to digital reach.1 But we do not have billionaire owners, corporate advertisers, or deep institutional pockets behind us. Those outlets often have hundreds of staffers, and sometimes more than 1,000 people, supporting their journalism, technology, business, marketing, and operations.2 We do not have that kind of legacy infrastructure behind us. We have people power. We have truth. We have action. And if even a small share of this community becomes paid subscribers, we can keep building independent, people-powered news and actions that are enough to meet this moment.
We generally send only one email/post a day, so you can stay informed without being overwhelmed. And if you want more throughout the day, you can follow our Substack notes feed or our Social Media channels, which are updated multiple times a day with breaking news, urgent actions, movement updates, daily inspiration, and ways to stay engaged.
Our news and action coverage also spans the issues that matter the most to our subscribers across the movement:
Resist Project 2025 | ICEbreaker News | Protect Democracy | Supreme Court Accountability | Reproductive Freedom for All | Protect Our Planet | Freedom Over Fascism | Power to the People News
Because these fights are connected. Attacks on immigrants, reproductive freedom, the courts, the climate, voting rights, workers, public education, and basic human dignity are all part of the same authoritarian project.
And our answer must be just as connected.
Freedom over fascism. Progress over fear. Power to the people.
If People Power United helps you stay grounded, informed, hopeful, and ready to act, please consider upgrading to a paid subscription today. Your support helps us continue this work, expand our reach, and build the people-powered infrastructure this moment demands.
This is not just about a newsletter. It is about building a community that speaks out, shows up, and refuses to surrender our rights, freedoms, the rule of law, or democracy.
This moment demands more than silence, cynicism, or doomscrolling.
It demands truth. It demands courage. It demands community. It demands action.
And it demands all of us.
Please become a paid subscriber today and help power this work forward.
With gratitude and determination,
Laurie Woodward Garcia
