WHY NOW?
Because nothing will change while fascists remain in power.
The Trump administration paused federal anti-corruption enforcement — giving corporations a free pass to bribe, cheat, and exploit.
Big business is funding authoritarian candidates while walking back public commitments to civil rights, labor protections, diversity, and democracy.
Billionaires profit while the rest of us are told to shop, work, and stay silent.
This isn't about left vs. right. This is about people vs. power.
If we do nothing, they win. If we move together, they feel it.
