🤑 Solidarity Income-Based Dues 🤑
|
Our economy must be built democratically, by and for working people, not by billionaires for profit. As working class people, we build power when we come together and organize, and power comes from organized people and organized money. Commit to Solidarity Dues today by giving your 1% for the 99% to grow our mass movement and build the working class power we need to win!
