The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Trump’s losing it over egg prices. Elon’s fuming over SNL. The protests are growing. The revolution won’t be televised—but we’re making history.

But It's Driving the Oligarchs Crazy

Across the country and around the world, people are rising up. From college campuses to city streets, thousands are marching against fascist ideology, corporate overreach, and authoritarian threats. And guess what? It’s getting under their skin.

💥 Trump is spiraling, telling Americans to “shut up about egg prices” because the economy isn’t working for regular people—but he doesn’t want to hear about it.

🛑 Republican leadership has told elected officials to stop holding town halls (not like ours were in the first place).

🎭 Elon Musk is reportedly furious over Mike Myers’ brilliant takedown of him on Saturday Night Live—because billionaires love free speech, just not when directed at them.

📺 And yet, the mainstream media remains mostly silent. They don’t want to show the world that the resistance is alive, growing, and impossible to stop.

Why we Protest

🚨 Trump’s Threats Against Protesters

Donald Trump has openly called for the arrest—and worse—of protesters, particularly those on college campuses who are exercising their First Amendment rights. Authoritarianism thrives when people are too afraid to resist. We’re here to make sure fear doesn’t win.

📣 Rallies & Protests Defend Democracy

Protests are not just acts of defiance; they are how we take power back. Every movement that has ever brought about real change—civil rights, women’s suffrage, LGBTQ+ rights, labor rights—started with people taking to the streets and demanding justice.

🌞 It’s Not All Doom & Gloom!

Protests are also energizing and unifying. You’ll get some fresh air, join in some fun chants, and meet fellow democracy defenders who share your passion. Resistance is stronger when we stand together.

Boycotts & Economic Blackouts

Our wallets are one of the most powerful tools we have in the fight for economic justice. Corporations and billionaires thrive on our spending, but when they prioritize greed over people, it’s time to hit them where it hurts—their bottom line.

Many of the corporations being targeted have eliminated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, slashed fair hiring practices, and abandoned vendor diversity initiatives. They are actively working against the very principles that ensure opportunity, fairness, and economic mobility for all. At the same time, they continue to underpay workers while raking in record profits, dodging taxes, and funding policies that harm our communities.

We refuse to support businesses that dismantle progress. Economic blackouts and targeted boycotts are a direct response to corporate overreach, worker exploitation, and the erasure of DEI initiatives. By refusing to spend our hard-earned dollars at businesses that undermine economic justice, we send a clear message: we won’t fund our own oppression.

💸 Amazon Blackout – March 7th – 14th
No Amazon, Amazon Prime, or Whole Foods purchases. Shop local!

💸 Nestle Blackout – March 21st – 28th
No Nestle purchases including Gerber, Perrier, Chefmate, Purina, Friskies, etc. 

💸 Walmart Blackout – April 7th – 14th
No Walmart or Walmart.com purchases. Shop local!

💸 Total Blackout – April 18th
No purchases. Period. Purchase essentials in advance. If you must, shop local.

“Do Economic Blackouts Really Work?” Yes—Here’s Why.

Some skeptics say, “These blackouts don’t work—people just spend their money another day, and it’s just an inconvenience that doesn’t make a real impact.”

Here’s why that take is completely wrong.

These blackouts absolutely hit corporations where it hurts: their bottom line. Beyond the immediate drop in revenue, they send a powerful message—when companies put profits over people, we will organize and fight back. Every blackout is a reminder that consumers have power, and if corporations continue to prioritize MAGA rhetoric and extremist policies over equity and justice, we will extend and expand these boycotts until their leadership and shareholders feel the pressure to change.

This is how movements grow. This is how we win.
