Welcome to 2026!
On January 3rd, the Trump regime illegally invaded Venezuela, bombing families to take control of the country for big oil corporations, poisoning our air, land, and water. Trump is using our tax dollars to commit war crimes, taking the lives of at least 80 working people and abducting another country’s sitting president and first lady.
From PA to Caracas and beyond, the regime is unconstitutionally seizing our freedoms in Trump’s war to extend rule by wealthy billionaires and corporations while working people can’t afford healthcare, groceries, or access to decent jobs. Every tax dollar spent on occupation steals funding from our schools, hospitals, and communities. Trump is beholden to big oil corporations like Chevron and billionaire oil tycoons like Tim Dunn, but our president is supposed to work for the American people.
We will not stand by while Trump attacks other countries in violation of our Constitution. We will not stand by while he starts wars for the billionaire class while families suffer. We’re holding Trump accountable.
Join us by sending a letter to your elected officials and spreading the word. We are calling on every elected leader in this country to condemn Trump and this illegal occupation.
Let’s be clear, working people from Pennsylvania to Venezuela are suffering because Trump cares more about his billionaire besties than any of us, but we know a better future is possible.
Here at PA Stands Up, we believe that we all deserve to live with safety, dignity, and the resources we need, and we’re doing the work it takes to strengthen our communities.
We need elected officials who co-govern with us and go to bat for working people, not billionaires and greedy corporations. That’s why the work we’re doing together at the local and state level is so important. Generations of Americans have shown us that working people have the power to make change, and that starts at the local and state levels.
Join us for the Tax Billionaires, Fund PA Kick-Off Call on January 13th from 6 – 8pm where we’re launching Tax Billionaires, Fund PA—a statewide campaign to raise billions of dollars for our schools, healthcare, public transit, and housing by asking the people with the most to pay just a little bit more.
Whether we are Black, white, or brown, native or newcomer, we’re coming together across race, place, and generation to build a PA and a movement that works for all of us. To build a future where we all have what we need, we each have to do our part. Will you join us?
In solidarity,
