People Over Profit
We have groups across the city doing incredible work fighting authoritarianism. Pick an event, make a plan, and add your talents to the resistance! We're fighting the same battles, let's win the war together.
Why now?
Billionaires buy our elected officials while Geo Group and CoreCivic profit off prison camps. Corporations like Amazon, Home Depot, and Wal-Mart exploit our fellow workers. ICE kidnappings and killings have surged to an all-time high. This regime has shown it's willing to do anything to retain power. We must resist. We must organize.
What can I do?
By withdrawing our money and labor and putting it back into our communities, we can win. Going to Whole Foods? Try a farmers market or street vendors instead. Painting your room? Forget Home Depot and buy from your local hardware store. Move your money from a big bank to your local credit union. Find a mutual aid group near you. Every step counts, no matter how small! What they fear most is us - organized and united. Our People Over Profit calendar makes it easy to get started. See our calendar below!
