The People’s Movement Stands Against:
The Billionaire Takeover – Trump, Musk, and their billionaire allies are consolidating power, buying politicians, rigging the system, and silencing the people to serve their own interests.
An Economy Rigged Against the People – While billionaires amass historic wealth, working Americans are crushed by skyrocketing costs, union-busting, and poverty wages.
Trump’s Defiance of the Law – Trump has defied court rulings, purged federal agencies, targeted political opponents, and declared himself above the law.
The Erosion of Freedom – From state-sanctioned kidnappings of students and immigrants deported without due process to attacks on voting rights, reproductive healthcare, workers’ rights, and free elections, oligarchs are dismantling the foundations of our country.
We’re not affiliated with any one candidate or party. We’re multi-racial, multi-generational, cross-class, and led by people who believe in nonviolence, mutual care, and democratic values.
