🗽 Freedom Over Fascism
🗽 Freedom is a daily act of advocacy and holding our leaders accountable to the will of the people.
Today in Freedom Over Fascism we’re featuring: news briefs, video briefs, and calls-to-action.
Billionaire-bought justices and the wealthy few are striving to strip us of our fundamental rights and liberties. Their aim is not to represent us but to rule over us. They employ illicit schemes to swindle, suppress, and undermine the voice of the majority of Americans.
Our response is to unite, reveal their dishonesty, demand transparency and accountability from those in power, and ardently support Independence over Totalitarianism. A well-informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.
Together we can champion Freedom Over Fascism
Here are today’s calls-to-action (timed they take about 5 minutes)

Call your Member of Congress (202) 224-3121 and tell them to make a public statement against using recess appointments to rule over people instead of representing them and to work on and pass legislation that requires all political appointees—no matter how they're appointed—to undergo thorough background checks by the FBI and ethical vetting by the Office of Government Ethics as has always been the norm.

He has encouraged European countries to do the same, even as the war has rocked the global economy and led to higher gas and heating costs, often framing the conflict as a pivotal battle between authoritarianism and democracy
Would Bernie Sanders Have Won?
New York Times By Ezra Klein
But it does make me wonder if the actual appeal of right-wing authoritarianism as practiced by people like Donald Trump, where you have billionaires like Elon Musk becoming aspirational and central figures, is really the "Who's on the side of workers?"
Why Elon Musk's Plan to Defund Public Broadcasting Must Be Stopped
Common Dreams By Tim Karr
To save this kind of accountability journalism we need people to make as much noise today as they have in the past, and deliver our own mandate for a public-media system that stands against Trump’s brand of authoritarianism.

Freedom Over Fascism - Statement on Project 2025
People Power United declares Fascism a clear and present danger to our rights, freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law.
In response to recent MAGA shenanigans to promote Fascism, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:
“MAGA Republicans have no interest in representing us. They want to rule over us. Freedom is a daily act of advocacy and holding our leaders accountable to the will of the people. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices,” said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United.
People Power United will continue to oppose such harm to our community and champion civil rights for all.
Project 2025 would shift power to a fascist regime
Donald Trump’s Project 2025 is a blatant power grab that aims to give extreme MAGA Republicans unchecked authority. They plan to use this power to criminalize abortion, undermine the middle class, and dismantle Social Security and Medicare.
Under Trump’s Project 2025, Republicans intend to impose a nationwide abortion ban and create a national registry to monitor women’s pregnancies and miscarriages. They even threaten to imprison doctors and nurses who provide essential care.
If enacted, Project 2025 would also gut the Affordable Care Act, leading to higher healthcare costs for everyone and a loss of protections for pre-existing conditions. Workers would lose their right to overtime pay, and middle-class families would face tax hikes—all while wealthy corporations receive new handouts.
Republicans' Project 2025 includes a detailed plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare as we know them. This means slashing benefits for seniors and allowing Big Pharma to charge exorbitant prices for medication.
Join us to build People Power! Together, we can champion our rights, freedoms, and democracy, hold our leaders accountable to the people's will, and inspire voters to make a meaningful difference.
