People’s Council
The People’s House must represent and serve the people — not corporations and special interests.
MAGA extremists have already pledged to use the “People’s House” as the arena for a political circus that will ultimately undermine our democracy, harm our economy, and take away our communities’ core rights and freedoms — all in the pursuit of power.
That’s why we, the people, are pushing back. Courage For America — advised by a people-first Council of proud Americans, including veterans, educators, faith leaders, and community leaders from across the country — is a campaign designed to counteract, delegitimize, and shift the narrative around MAGA extremists’ sham-investigations, anti-democratic antics, fake scandals, and more. Together, we will hold them accountable so we can get back to the issues our communities care about.
We demand the House of Representatives work for us, not play politics with our country. Will you join us?
