On July 21, the Trump-allied House Ways and Means Committee hit The People’s Forum with a congressional subpoena, demanding our internal communications, records, and finances by August 7. It comes on the heels of a State Department report smearing us and other organizations as left-wing terrorists for daring to oppose the blockade of Cuba and stand with movements for justice.
Let’s be clear about what this is: a political witch-hunt, straight out of the McCarthy era playbook. This attack is an attempt to silence us—and everyone like us—who has stood up for Palestine, against ICE’s terror in our communities, and against the U.S. blockade which is starving the Cuban people.
We will not be intimidated into silence, but will fight back and defend all of our First Amendment rights in the midst of this congressional witch-hunt.
You can help us fight back. Your donation today goes directly toward fighting these attacks and sustaining our work—bringing people together to organize, educate, and build power.
When you give, you’re not just supporting an organization on the frontlines. You’re part of the movement to defend free speech & civil liberties.
Trump’s allies are trying to crush us, but we’re fighting back! When we stand together, we win. Will you stand with us?
