About this Event

It’s time for real change. After years of rising inequalities of wealth, income, medical care, housing, and health care in the United States. After years of corporations moving jobs abroad and replacing workers with computers, robots, and now AI. As those same corporations continue to raise prices on us, is it time for a change? Mamdani’s victory answered: “It’s past time.”

Trump promised to stop the “endless wars," yet Ukraine, Gaza, and now Iran too persist. Trump's tariff attacks the whole world, converting the nation's few friends into hurt, angry enemies. What he calls “Putting America First” is more likely to leave America last.

Trump got elected, riding the massive gap between the super-rich and the rest of us. Millions gave Trump a chance to prove he would be very different. Yet Epstein's mess exposes Trump as a full partner in decades of super-rich people's corruption that fully includes the old DEMS’ and GOP’s political establishments, more of the same old, same old. That system works for them. Its business leaders and their political representatives have enriched themselves at the expense of the people. They took MAGA, as well as the rest of us, on a ride that is now exhausted.

So, the tide is shifting from a right that has failed to a left that must now prove itself. It’s time to gather, explore, organize, and implement a significant, beautiful, and fundamental change, and we invite you to join us.
