Our Mission

To defeat fascism in the United States.

Our Strategy

Our pre-election strategy is a simple, three-phase plan designed to turn public outrage into real political change.

Phase 1: National Protests
We bring people into the streets—at scale. Not just to raise awareness, but to build community, momentum, and a shared sense of purpose. This is how movements start: by getting people off the sidelines and into action.

Phase 2: Direct Action
Once people are mobilized, we focus that energy. We show up where power lives—inside congressional offices, in targeted campaigns, and in coordinated pressure efforts. This is where protest becomes leverage.

Phase 3: Direct Campaigning
Finally, we translate that pressure into outcomes. We support candidates, shape narratives, and influence elections—ensuring the movement doesn’t just speak, but wins.
