About this event

Billionaires are converting the government into their private slush fund and just passed the largest wealth giveaway in the history of the US. The money they take from our families, they put in their overstuffed pockets.

Just like any bad boss, the way we stop the takeover is with collective action. We are working people rising up to stop the billionaire takeover–not just through the ballot box or the courts, but through building a bigger and stronger movement. We are fighting for a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all of us — not just a chosen few.

Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand to demand #NoKings and #NoBillionaires this October 18th. We will be in the streets, outside the offices of the corporate criminals who are behind the attacks on our freedoms, and at congressional offices. Together we will demand a country that puts workers over billionaires.

OUR DEMANDS TO BUILD THE SOCIETY WE ALL DESERVE:

  1. Stop the billionaire takeover corrupting our government.
  2. Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people.
  3. Fully funded schools, and healthcare and housing for all.
  4. Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities.
  5. Invest in people not wars.

Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
