Final Fund Drive push: Help People’s World over the line

This is an urgent proposal for how we can deal with both the national and international emergencies our people are facing.

Never before have we realized, as much as we have this week, the power of the corrupt criminal gang that is running this nation from the White House. They have focused their fire on every single manifestation of democracy that they can get their hands on.

Human rights, voting rights, working-class rights, immigrant rights, every single form of civil rights and more are being thrown into the trash pile so they can increase their profits and the profits of the billionaires backing them.

This cannot stand if we are to survive.

On the world scale, the people in the White House are orchestrating war and international violence that threatens to plunge the world into an unimaginable situation.

If they are not stopped, we will end up with no right to a union, no right to collectively bargain for our wages and livelihoods, no health care, no Social Security, and with a dismal world of poverty for the majority here at home. What the planet Earth itself will suffer is not something we even want to think about.

Yet people like Trump and his enablers have been defeated before, and they can be defeated again. That is where you, the most loyal readers of People’s World come in. Please, in these last days of our annual find drive, make just one more contribution (or become a monthly sustainer) to get us to our goal of $140,000. We’re almost over the line, and you can get us there.

It is the most concrete thing you can do in the next few days to bring an end to the madness orchestrated by the White House.

You can make this country and this world a better place by doing so. Thank you for everything you have done so far, and thank you for what you do in these last days of our fund drive.

Make this country your country! Make this world your world!
