How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Remember: Whenever Trump orders mass incarceration, it’s a ploy to direct revenue to for-profit prisons.

Always follow the money. The cruelty is just a bonus for these sick fucks.

Together, we have mobilized the largest protests in American history.

Nearly 70% of people opposed the Trump regime’s horrible bill.

Organizers have banded together to protect their communities from ICE.

Remember—they want us to feel isolated. We are not.

We are the many, and we hold the power.
