Let’s Make it the Year of the People

This year is the YEAR OF THE PEOPLE! A page in WORLD HISTORY is being turned to a new chapter in HUMAN CIVILIZATION. The people are tired of being lied to. The people are tired of producing all this wealth for the billionaire class while many of us are living paycheck to paycheck and having to choose between paying for car insurance or putting food on the kitchen table to feed ourselves and our children. The people are tired of fighting endless wars that only are taking the lives of other lower class people in countries JUST LIKE US. The frustration with the state of affairs here in the US and around the world is real.

We all know what the problems are, even if we can't innumerate them all and regurgitate all the statistics surrounding them. Intuitively, we know something has to change, but don't necessarily know what the solution is. No leader or movement knows all the answers to these questions, but collectively we can figure this out TOGETHER. This is what makes our movement different. We aren't going to mislead the people like the Democratic Party and Republican Party does every 4 years, but always do the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what they promise to do for us. Well…. we're not liars like these professional representatives of the billionaire class. That's their job to lie to us— the Democrats and Republicans! 

As we say, “We are not from the left. We're not from the right. We're from the bottom; and we're coming to take back what's rightfully ours from those at the top.” 

Join us in Chicago for the People's Fest August 18th where we will be putting on a live concert for the people. The next day we will be marching on the Democratic National Convention August 19th with BOOTS ON THE GROUND. If anything is going to ever change it's going to be because WE THE PEOPLE AT THE BOTTOM WILL BE LEADING THIS REVOLUTION!
