New York Times by Thomas B. Edsell
âit is not that he [Trump] will do things that are illegal, because what does âillegalâ mean at this point? What is most concerning is that he will extend his power lawfully and that if and possibly when he publicly bullies and intimidates everyday American citizens and leaders of institutions, there will not be enough good people in positions of power to say that it is wrong and profoundly un-American.â - Gordon Abner

Donald Trump was elected President, but he is not a leader
When leaders escape accountability, it sends a chilling message: that power, not justice, reigns supreme. This erodes trust, destabilizes society, and paves the way for authoritarianism to take root.
History has shown us that unchecked power breeds corruption, oppression, and the silencing of voicesâthreatening the very freedoms we hold dear.
But we have the power to change the course of history. Now, more than ever, itâs time unite, champion people power and progress, and demand accountability and justice for all. Together, we can protect our democracy and secure a future where fairness and equality prevail. Join us and be part of a movement that demands accountability and justice for all.
More resources are coming, but today, please join our Not Above the Law Rapid Response Team and sign on to our Freedom Over Fascism pledge.
Statement on Project 2025
People Power United declares Project 2025 is a clear and present danger to our rights, freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law.
In response to recent MAGA shenanigans to enact Project 2025, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:
âProject 2025 is a dangerous plan to move America from a democracy to a theocratic autocracy. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices,â said Laurie Woodward GarcĂa of People Power United.
People Power United will continue to oppose such harm to our community and champion civil rights for all.
Here is a brief list of the harms Project 2025 would cause to our communities:
Gives the President "Supreme Powers."
Fires 50,000 federal workers and replaces them with loyalists
Militarizes law enforcement
Replaces public education with Christian education
Criminalizes people based on their race, country of origin, religion, sexual orientation, identity, age, pronouns, race, religion, ethnicity, abilities, and the money in their bank account. Exceptions made for the âSupreme Leaderâ and loyalists.
Ends reproductive freedom
Defunds all affordable housing efforts and shifts to a privatizing model with a rollback of efforts to protect renters and property owners
Dismantles environmental protections
Criminalizes immigrants
