The People’s toolkit
The People’s March is a coalition of organizations building community power and working on many issues across the country. Our mobilization on January 18 is one step toward building the unity necessary to win the fights that are most important to us and our communities.
Our unity honors both our shared and different experiences across race, gender, sexuality, class, immigration status, faith, disability, and more. Our unity is reflected below–we hope you can find yourself in the principles that bring us together on January 18 and into the work ahead.
In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we know that this country needs “a radical revolution of values.” And as such, we know this country needs to stop funding and valuing what harms us, and invest in what heals us. This country needs to stop answering to billionaires, and start answering to the people.
But we know it won’t happen on its own. It won’t be enough to build the biggest resistance movement possible. We must also lay out our vision for what is possible.
We will be the ones to bring about this necessary change and build the world that our communities deserve.
Our people deserve good jobs and an economy that honors our dignity, and ensures we have access to quality food, transportation, recreation, and all the things we need to survive and thrive.
Our people deserve quality and affordable housing within our communities that allows us to maintain the bonds essential to our collective survival.
Our people deserve access to quality and affordable healthcare in their communities – without restriction – that honors our right to make decisions about our own bodies, our families, and lives.
Our people deserve to know that our resources are not funding or supporting political violence or war, and that we are safe in our homes and communities, no matter who we are or where we live in the world.
Our people deserve access to quality, robust, and free education that accurately reflects both history and the lived experiences of our communities.
Our people deserve a thriving democracy with access to all the components that keep it healthy, including secure elections, the right to vote and to protest, and freedom of speech and the media.
Our people deserve the freedom to move, whether in search of safety, quality of life, or simply to be with our loved ones without stigma or the threat of detainment, imprisonment, or violence.
Our people deserve a healthy environment - our air, water, and earth free from pollutants - and a comprehensive response to the climate crisis that protects this planet for future generations.
Our people deserve to live free from the perpetual violence of prisons and policing.
Our people deserve the freedom to express the diversity of our genders, sexualities, families, and lives, free from the threat of violence, discrimination, and loss of opportunities.
Our people deserve community, solidarity, and action. Join us.
