A Better System Is Possible—And Within Reach

They said the system was just broken. That this is how it is. That inequality, debt, burnout—it's just the cost of living free.

But here’s the truth:

What we’re living through didn’t just happen. It was built this way—on purpose, over decades.

We Had It—and They Took It

• College was tuition-free (or nearly so)
• One income paid the bills
• Housing wasn’t speculative bloodsport
• We taxed the rich, and used that money to build
• Public schools, science, roads, parks, pensions, and food systems weren’t partisan battlegrounds—they were the point of government

These systems weren’t flawless. But they delivered—and that made them a target.

When We Started Thriving, They Changed the Rules

As soon as public investment started closing gaps and helping more people thrive, the ones who had the most to lose from fairness started tearing it down.

• Tax cuts for the wealthy
• Deregulation in finance, housing, and healthcare
• Privatization of everything from prisons to student loans
• A propaganda machine that taught us to resent each other instead of the people rigging the game

They didn’t shrink government. They just rewired it to serve privilege.

You’re Not Failing—You’re Being Failed

You didn’t do anything wrong.
You're not bad at budgeting, bad at being an adult, or bad at time management.

You’re navigating a system designed to extract everything from you—your labor, your time, your health, your future—and call it freedom.

You Don’t Need Permission to Fight Back

You don’t need to be a policy expert to know what’s fair.
You don’t need a law degree to call out what’s broken.
You just need the courage to name what’s unjust—and the will to push back.

We make that part easy. Just open a browser tab. Give it 90 seconds. Submit something that matters.

Our campaign makes it possible to fight back with bureaucratic precision.
We’re stuffing their deregulation portal with proposals they never expected—ones that dismantle privilege, not protections.

This system was bent to serve the few.

But we can fix it—

because we outnumber them, we care, and we have the tools to build something better.
