There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth.
It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

The U.S. has collected over $80 billion in tariff revenue since Trump unilaterally slapped them on our biggest trading partners. That's an increase of 65% from the previous year. In other words, Americans paid $80 billion more for goods than they should have paid.

Phang: Teachers are some of the least paid, most underappreciated people, and they work in such an intimate way in our lives. Your kids spend more time at school than they do at home, at least in waking hours. So why not encourage our teachers? Why create this oppressive environment?

Let this day be a reminder that democracy doesn’t protect itself.
We’ve got to keep showing up, speaking out, and standing firm—until freedom feels real for everyone.

Hospitals will close and ERs will serve as desperate last measures.
