Power to the People’s Healing: A Song for Our Democracy
Hi friends! Happy 40th anniversary of Les Misérables! The timeless power of its music and message — the people rising together — inspired me to create a new song and video: Power to the People’s Healing.1 Because in these turbulent days, when so many say, “My Representative or Senator doesn’t listen,” it’s easy to feel unheard. But here’s the truth: our voices are strongest when we rise harmoniously with one purpose.
Each congressional district represents about 750,000 people (Census). Yet according to Fireside212, all of Congress received just 81 million messages in 2022 — a shockingly small number compared to the 330 million Americans they serve. That means your call, letter, and email carry far more weight than you might imagine. Every single message is a spark that can light up a movement.
So imagine this: if each of us committed to sending one letter and leaving one voicemail a day — messages that reach our three Members of Congress — that’s nearly 486 billion messages3 across 533 members of Congress. That’s people power in action. That’s the sound of democracy singing again.
Eighty-one million versus 486 billion doesn’t even count social media, town halls, or direct birddogging. This is how we move from a 24% engagement rate to a complete 100%. This is how we make government listen.
So let’s use our collective voice — not just to demand, but to heal, rebuild, and remind them who they work for: us.
Click here to send a message to your member of Congress. Here’s a quick script you can adapt today:
“Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent. I’m urging you as my member of Congress to reopen the government, extend the affordable care act subsidies, and take real action to lower our premiums. It’s time to put people over politics. Thank you.”
Call your Senators and Representative at (202) 224-3121 and feel free to use or edit the script above.
Power to the people. Power to our healing.
Together, we rise — one voice, one call, one message at a time.
Will You Share Your Story?
In every generation, some people refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. At People Power United, we know the most incredible stories of courage don’t come from halls of power but from the people. That’s why we’re launching “Freedom Over Fascism: Voices of the People.” We want your story. Tell us why you stand against kings in America and believe healthcare is a human right—not a privilege for the powerful. Whether in your own words or, even better, on video, share why you believe democracy must serve everyone who calls America home. Together, we’ll uplift these stories to remind lawmakers that they represent the people—not the wealthy, not the well-connected, but all of us who refuse to be silent in the face of injustice. Because when we raise our voices, we prove that the people’s power is greater than those in power.
