Last night, Our Revolution made sure Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent couldn't ignore the truth — by lighting up his house with a massive "Defund Oligarchy" projection just hours before Tax Day.
While the rest of us are hoping to eke out a tax refund today, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the billionaire class have effectively gamed the tax system to pay a fraction of what we do–and all those extra untaxed millions turn into extraordinary political power.
Just 100 billionaire families spent an unprecedented $2.6 billion in the 2024 election, and now Trump’s administration is filled with billionaires determined to gut Social Security, privatize Medicare, and secure lucrative government contracts and handouts for themselves.
The projection on Bessent's house is part of a multi-prong strategy to draw nationwide attention and ratchet up pressure on vulnerable Republicans to vote NO on billionaire tax breaks paid for by cutting Medicaid. We’re bird-dogging GOP members of Congress, flooding their offices with calls, and holding rallies across the country. Can you urgently chip in so we can fight to stop more billionaire tax breaks and save Medicaid?

Our Revolution doesn't shy away from taking bold actions like last night's powerful projection to take on the billionaire class, because this isn't just about taxes–this is about democracy itself. Musk’s 2024 campaign contributions were four times what he paid in annual federal income taxes between 2013 and 2018!
Trump’s billionaire backers want a BIG return on their investment to his campaign, and Republicans in Congress are HELL BENT on giving them billions while tearing apart the systems that keep working families afloat.
But public anger is building at this appalling reverse Robin Hood plan and we’ve got some Republicans WORRIED that supporting these massive tax cuts could cost them their jobs — which is why Our Revolution is working around the clock to OVERWHELM Congress with massive opposition to this cruel plan.
Our team is already hard at work pressuring lawmakers, organizing protests, and showing up in key districts to make the political pain intolerable for the Republican lawmakers casting the deciding votes – can you donate $10, $25, or whatever you can spare to keep this fight going strong?
When we organize, we win.
