We New Yorkers have had enough of being told what CAN’T be done to rapidly advance our transition to renewable energy generation.

We New Yorkers are annoyed by misinformation and false excuses of “affordability” and “reliability”.

We New Yorkers cannot accept the delays and incrementalism in funding and implementing – and now proposals to undo – our landmark NYS Climate Law.

What is needed at this time of crisis is dynamic leadership showing us what CAN be done – and must be done – if there is the political will to do it.

MAGA Billionaire Blockade

Top MAGA-donor billionaires are shelling out $50,000 per table for a grotesque night of reverie and caviar at billionaire watering hole, Cipriani 42nd Street in Manhattan. The thieves are gathering at a fundraiser for the Manhattan Institute, a hotbed for fascist propaganda. They have been an incubator of the deregulation, privatization, and austerity that has left millions of working-class Americans drowning in stagnant wages and hopelessness. These oligarchs fought against minimum wage hikes, opposed universal healthcare, and privatized public services—all to squeeze more profits for themselves while ordinary Americans worked longer hours for shrinking paychecks. This isn’t just policy—it’s class warfa

They created the despair that put Trump in the White House and crashed our economy–now they are coming for our jobs, our hospitals, our schools, and our democracy.

So on May 7th, we’re crashing their party.

Because New York City is not just a playground for a handful of billionaires. It is the home of over eight million hard working New Yorkers who have had enough of the elites squeezing our communities so they can add another zero to their bank statement.

Meet us at Bryant Park, from there we are marching on Cipriani’s and crash the billionaire vanity-fest.

This city is our home and we won’t let it be destroyed without a fight.

NYC’s mayoral primary is fast approaching. This meeting will focus on ranked-choice voting – how it works and how we can use it to make sure we choose a progressive candidate – as well as voter registration and GOTV efforts, and more.

No Kings Day

Trump has announced a North Korea-style military parade in DC on Flag Day, June 14, which coincides with the 250th anniversary of the establishment of the Army – and, in a horrible coincidence, with Trump’s 79th birthday. According to Heather Cox Richardson, “About 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles, and 50 helicopters will proceed from near the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, to the National Mall at a cost of tens of millions of dollars.”

And a response is already building. Through distributed actions and (we expect) a big one in Washington, DC, we’ll work to show the world what democracy really looks like.

We’ll keep you informed as plans develop. Meanwhile, you can click on “Register here” to get more information, access materials for planning and promoting your own local action, and stay in the loop.

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump; it belongs to us. And on June 14th, we’re showing up to say: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.
