“2025 has been extraordinarily hard for so many people. Greedy politicians and billionaires have been creating obstacles to survival, safety, and happiness for the rest of us, and then scapegoating innocent communities so they can get away with it.
The working people who keep our country running — people with resilience in their DNA, people who kept the language of their grandparents, people who are the firsts in their family, people who love courageously and with pride — deserve real change that can make a material difference in their lives. Not the scraps.“

Invest In Our New York, Not In Greedy Corporations

State Campaigns with Real Change, Not Pocket Change
When it comes to the economy, so many of us are putting in the work and getting little to nothing in return. It’s time for real change and a quality of life we can afford – not unchecked wealth for billionaires.
Check out these campaigns in Minnesota, Tennessee, and New York fighting for real change, not pocket change.
“While working people fight to keep up with rent, groceries, and gas, billionaires and self-serving politicians are counting on us to stay too tired to question their motives.
We know this struggle isn’t by accident. They’ve profited off our exhaustion long enough. We’re done settling for less and we’re taking back what’s ours.”
