James,
One year ago today, Trump was inaugurated to his second term.
Even though he vowed to fight for working people, Trump has turned OUR government into a cash machine for oligarchs – privatizing our government and plundering taxpayer dollars. While families struggle with rising costs, Trump is funneling public money, political favors, and government resources into the pockets of his donors, cronies, and his own family businesses.
And now we have a plan to stop him.
TODAY, on the anniversary of Trump's return to power, Our Revolution is working with members of Congress, including US Rep. Rashida Tlaib, to introduce our groundbreaking resolution to end billionaire power over our politics. And Our Revolution is launching our "Defund the Oligarchy" campaign to make it happen – but we need you with us.
Congress must act now to stop billionaires and corporate giants from buying elections, capturing our government, and rigging the economy in their favor. Because one thing is certain: we can't solve the climate crisis, win Medicare for All, or protect our rights as long as oligarchs control the system.
Add your name now: Tell Congress to support the resolution to Defund the Oligarchs and Fund the People.
While families struggle to afford rent, groceries, and healthcare, America's 900 billionaires now own more wealth than the poorest 67 million U.S. households *combined*. That's not just inequality – it's oligarchy.
We dug into the numbers. In the last election, Trump's mega-donors from crypto, oil & gas, and deportation industries funneled $700 million into his campaign and MAGA causes. Their ROI? Over $172.5 billion in tax breaks and contracts. For every $1 million they spent, they raked in $18 BILLION. That isn't democracy; it's daylight robbery.
When Trump promised to "drain the swamp," he actually turned the White House into a gold mine for the ultra-rich. So we're working with our allies in Congress to finally:
- End pay-to-play corruption and taxpayer giveaways to billionaire insiders.
- Get big money out of our elections to stop our voices being drowned out by billionaire spending.
- Break up corporate monopolies in Big Tech, Big Oil, Wall Street, and corporate media.
- Tax the ultra-rich and corporate giants so we can finally fund healthcare, housing, education, and climate action for everyone.
- Build real people power: strengthening unions, expanding worker ownership, and defending democracy from authoritarian threats.
The resolution is critical, and Our Revolution is demanding every member of Congress support it so that we can finally Defund the Oligarchs and Fund the People. But we need EVERYONE with us.
Tell your member of Congress: Support the resolution to Defund the Oligarchs and Fund the People.
Public anger is growing and Congress is feeling the heat. But this resolution will only succeed with a massive outpouring from the grassroots – people like you, demanding a government that works "for us, not billionaire donors."
We don't have the luxury of waiting – billionaires are cashing in on our dime right now. So let's come together to defund the oligarchy NOW!
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
