"Affordability" is making headlines – & it's top of mind for Americans across race and zip code. Our new guide helps you tell an affordability story that names who's behind our financial pain, points to long-term solutions, & gives clear calls to action. www.wemakethefutureaction.us/resources-do...

From attacking our freedom to control our bodies to trying to keep people who've changed our last names from voting, we know this regime wants to control women & decide our futures for us. But we're coming together to defend our freedoms. #HandsOffOurVote [🎨 via Amplifier Art]

“AFFORDABILITY” has become a buzzy term for inflation, cost of living, and other abstract economic challenges. But its impacts are very real. Our new guide talks about how to build a positive vision for a people-centered economy that works for all of us.

[video repost from Jess Craven and Public Citizen] When we say "name the villains" – greedy politicians and the billionaires padding their pockets – it's not hypothetical! These are the people making decisions about our lives & futures. We need to to demand they pay what they owe & #FundOurFutures.

Most Americans believe voters should pick our leaders. But this regime wants to decide who votes based on our skin color and what’s in our wallets. We know "We the people" means ALL of us, & we're voting for our freedoms this November. #HandsOffOurVote [🎨 via Amplifier Art]

Don't forget: Paying taxes is civic participation. That understanding is how we build the case for what taxes should be – putting our money toward what our communities need, from good schools to quality healthcare. For more, view our #FundOurFutures messaging research & guide.

In the MO primary, groups like Missouri Workers Center rallied voters around values-driven messages: “We want our elected leaders to fight for our freedoms, not steal from us so they can line the pockets of a wealthy few.” Congrats to the organizers who defeated Amendments 4 & 5!

Pro-tip: Say, "Make wealthy corporations pay what they truly owe" instead of, "Make the rich pay their fair share." Why? The rich are actively taking the wealth we create – we need to call that out.

Our new guide: "What Do We Say When the Storm Comes?" includes action plans for building a responsive preparedness plan. So when climate events inevitably strike, your org is ready both to serve your communities and build lasting power. Read it today: www.wemakethefutureaction.us/resources-do...
Lesson card on a bright teal background. Header reads "Lesson 1: We Don't Have the 'Break Glass Plan' in Hand." PROBLEM: "When climate disasters strike, organizers and communicators can be left scrambling, sprinting to create systems on the fly and missing opportunities that might cost our communities dearly." ACTION PLAN: "Create a Climate Disaster Response Plan that includes what actions to take, which decisions need to be made, and WHO will make them." An illustration of a clipboard with checkboxes and a pencil appears in the lower right.Lesson card on a bright teal background. Header reads "Lesson 2: We've Got a Brilliant Bottleneck." PROBLEM: "Many groups have one person with all of the context, permissions, and skills to build successful responses in short time frames. When climate disasters strike, that individual is asked to do too much, while others don't have the on-ramps to contribute." ACTION PLAN: "A good disaster response requires distributed action, with everyone across the organization understanding the plan, and many hands executing to meet the moment." An illustration of a bottleneck diagram with red dots flowing through a narrow point appears in the lower right.Lesson card on a bright teal background. Header reads "Lesson 3: We're Stuck in Between Permissions and Protocols." PROBLEM: "Some organizations have structural limitations that can prevent a timely response to unfolding events." ACTION PLAN: "Create clear protocols of who can steer which communication channels and what flexibility exists to meet the moment outside of narrow campaign definitions." An illustration of a hand holding a shield with a key appears in the upper right.Lesson card on a bright teal background. Header reads "Lesson 4: When We're In Doubt, We Phone a Friend – Personal Networks Stand in For Infrastructure." PROBLEM: "Without a clear plan of how an organization should respond in a climate crisis moment, staff naturally fall back on personal networks – but when that happens ad hoc, it can lead to disjointed action, duplicated efforts, and missed opportunities." ACTION PLAN: "Before a crisis hits, create a space for the team to map out their skills, personal networks, and community ties. Build that knowledge into your Climate Disaster Response Plan."

We are in the fight of our lives against fascism - a force that seeks to control women - from what we do with our bodies to how we live our lives. The only way to defeat this force is to repudiate it wherever it manifests, whether in legislation, executive decree, or interpersonal action.

This is the MAGA Murder Regime. They will destroy anything and everything that keeps them from complete and total power. Refusal to fight them on every front - especially targeting the most vulnerable - allows them to flourish. We will not "affordability argument" our way to ending fascism.
