Hey - we wanted to talk today about Luigi Mangione, UnitedHealthcare, and how we got here.

We want to make it clear: we hold fiercely to our principle of nonviolence . But we also want to say that the reaction to UnitedHealthcare CEO's Brian Thompson's killing isn't shocking. Young people have grown up watching CEOs commit mass murder, with politicians telling us to shut up and take it.

It’s not just health care where the corruption of CEOs and corporations runs rampant. We’ve grown up knowing that the climate apocalypse threatens our future. All while fossil fuel CEOs have known for 50 years that their industry will kill and displace billions of us.

Any consequences for their lies and deceit? Zero. We still hand them $757 BILLION in subsidies.

In 2020, we fought for Bernie Sanders because he gave us a political pathway to justice – he took on CEOs by campaigning on Medicare For All and the Green New Deal. Then we watched the Democratic establishment close ranks to protect corporate-friendly politics.

That same establishment is now scratching their heads, wondering why they lost to Trump and why there is this outpouring of support for a vigilante killer. The answer is them. Our whole lives, they have refused to take on CEOs and their murderous business practices.

It doesn’t have to be this way. We need a Democratic Party that will take on corporate interests and fight for an economy and politics that works for all of us. And we’ll be able to do that with your help.

We’re hoping to raise $150,000 before the end of the year in order to make our work to take on CEOs and billionaires possible. If you’re able, can you please donate whatever you can afford right now to keep our movement strong? [[link removed]]

We deserve real justice, not vigilante killings and memes on the Internet. The GOP is lost to fascism. So the question remains: will the Democratic Party turn against CEOs in time to prevent total collapse?

To defeat Trump, stop billionaires, and tackle the climate crisis, we must fight for working people . If the Democratic Party leaders won’t do that on their own, we will continue to organize until power is back in the hands of working people. And we’ll continue to do it how we always have - as a nonviolent, multiracial, working class-led movement.

Can you contribute today to help us take on corporate power, put workers at the center of our political system, and fight for policies like a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and more? Your donation will go to supporting our efforts through 2024 and beyond. [[link removed]]
