A handful of billionaires and fascists can’t succeed in sabotaging our election on their own. When we come together and say “no more,” we can force the corporations and politicians to back down. Join the mass call to learn how! #WorkersOverBillionaires

Midterms are around the corner. Trump is fixated on building DHS “voter lists.” He’s refused to rule out sending ICE to the polls. We expect to see attempts to keep people from voting. It’s time for Amazon to pick a side. They claim to be pro-democracy. We’re not buying it.
