They are trying to rig the maps so they can win. Because Trump\u2019s approvals have hit record lows, and even Fox News polls are showing people trust Democrats more than Republicans on the economy.\u00a0They know they can\u2019t win fair and square.<\/em>
\u00a0
So while the Supreme Court guts the Voting Rights Act and Republicans in the South scramble to silence and suppress voters\u2019 voices, rewriting the maps to grab seats they haven\u2019t earned, we\u2019re getting to work.\u00a0
\u00a0
The key to winning the midterms is now turning out progressive voters in key swing districts. That\u2019s why this coming Saturday, People\u2019s Action Power is phone banking in PA-07.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>
\u00a0
Can you join?<\/strong><\/a>
The key to flipping the House is flipping existing GOP seats. And Pennsylvania\u2019s 7th congressional district is one Democrats can win in 2026.<\/strong>
\u00a0
Republican Ryan Mackenzie flipped the seat in 2024 by just 4,062 votes (50.5% to 49.5%), ousting two-term Democrat Susan Wild in the closest congressional race in Pennsylvania that cycle. People\u2019s Action Power is planning on calling 10,000 voters this Saturday, encouraging them to get out and\u00a0vote for Bob Brooks in the upcoming primary<\/strong>.\u00a0
\u00a0
He\u2019s our best chance to win this seat. He\u2019s a working people\u2019s champion, campaigning on ending the affordability crisis, building a fair and sustainable health care system, making the rich pay their fair share in taxes, and more. This is the kind of representation we need in Congress.
\u00a0
To make 10,000 calls, People\u2019s Action Power needs 20 volunteers.<\/strong><\/a>
\u00a0
Will you be one of them?<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Amplify the ACLU of Louisiana<\/strong><\/a>
Louisiana\u2019s governor has postponed the May 16 congressional primary while they redraw the maps, but there are still key votes happening that day! Louisianans need to know they should still show up to the polls, and the ACLU of Louisiana is working to get the word out. Will you help?

Phone Bank May 14, too!<\/strong><\/a>
Are you free this coming Thursday? People\u2019s Action Power is also getting on the lines in California\u2019s 22nd congressional district (where Trump won by only 1.8 points in 2024). They need all hands on deck to kick GOP members out of the House and counter their power grab.

March in Montgomery May 16<\/strong><\/a>
A group of organizers called The Black Power War Room have come together in response to the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in\u00a0Louisiana v. Callais<\/em>. They\u2019re organizing a march in Montgomery this coming Saturday.
