Trump won re-election, in part, by blaming the wrong people for the crises we are all facing in our communities: rents we can't afford to pay, poor jobs, unaffordable or poor health care, inadequate and crumbling public transportation, among others.

Our real problem is the growing and virtually unchecked power of billionaires and CEOs in American capitalism and our political system. Under Trump's second administration, corporations will have more power than ever before, unless we organize to oppose them. But the good news is that we will be able to stop much of his agenda and continue to win at the local and state level.

The first items on Trump's agenda will be to slash taxes for corporations and the rich. Then they attempt to turn Medicare over to private corporations, attempt to gut Medicaid, attempt to gut environmental protections, and attempt mass deportations that will hurt undocumented people and harm our economy. Because much of his agenda will be deeply unpopular with Americans and with corporate elites, so if we organize, we may be able to stop some key pieces of his agenda. We can also continue to bring people together to win local and state investments in our people and communities.
