Please talk about this at your No Kings Rally. This is the next step in the Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance

BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM

Time to End this Evil Nightmare.

BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM is a national movement born out of frustration, injustice, and the undeniable truth that the people hold the power - not corrupt governments, not billionaires, not broken systems.

The billionaire oligarchs pay big bucks for campaigns that help elect politicians, who will support the causes that make them richer. They are the ones who elected the tRump and control the government. In an effort to bring down the tRump's administration from hell - we are strategically and peacefully shutting down the U.S. economy - by removing our labor, our spending, our financial support, forcing the system to listen.

This movement launched to remove the billionaires from our government, reclaim power for the people, restore justice, and unite citizens across all races, cultures, and classes.

We are asking all citizens to boycott billionaire businesses and products (the ones that have locations or can be purchased in every state) avoid working and spending as much as possible November 25 - December 2, 2025

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

Effective civil disobedience and successful activism require some degree of inconvenience and sacrifice. Strikes and Blackout are the most effective way to initiate change but they come with hardship and sacrifice. People could lose jobs and businesses may close.

But historically we have sacrificed far more. At this point, no one is asking people to walk miles to work every day for a year, endure personal violence or sacrifice their own lives like they did during the first Civil Rights Movement.

Our resistance efforts now are minor in comparison. The longer we wait to resist the more intense our sacrifices become. Above all resistance only works if we stand together. Mature adults are the ones building and leading this New Civil Rights Movement, the ones with knowledge of our history, the ones that fought for equality and remember what it was like before the movement. It seems like young Americans will need to directly feel the pain of the tRump's destructive cuts and illegal executive orders. This tRump nightmare could have been over already if we had united when he first revealed his authoritarian plans. Instead most Americans are sitting back watching our democracy collapse around us. So many more are clueless about the immense evil the tRump has unleashed in our country.

Unfortunately, people in this country don't want to be temporarily inconvenienced in any way and they definitely don't want to make the simplest of sacrifices like stop unnecessary shopping, avoiding traveling, limiting their entertainment!

Right now we have no where near the numbers of people consistently resisting that we need to save our democracy. The tRump is winning the war against our democracy and has begun the initial stages of genocide in America.

We have to decide if it is better to sacrifice some jobs or a few small businesses or do we allow the tRump to privatizing public education, health care and insurance, making it available to only the wealthy. On top of your mortgage, transportation, utilities, cell phone services and everyday essentials can you afford to pay private school tuition for twelve years and then college, medical expenses without insurance, nursing homes for your parents or grandparents? The tRump wants to privatize health insurance too. Say good-by to insurance benefits from work. Insurance is expected to double in price for everyone. Can you afford all of that? If not what will you have to live without?

The tRump has no plan to increase your wages. Do we continue to let the tRump regime, steal our Medical services, medications, food services for our veterans, disabled, children and the elderly. If we don’t resist more people will loose their jobs, homes, medical care, freedom and many more people will die from neglect while the tRump gives much more of our money to his billionaire oligarch friends?

Do we prefer to fight for our democracy or allow the tRump to continue to strip FEMA funds for communities that mother nature destroys, accurate weather alerts and food safety inspections? He has already ended science and medical research for climate change, cancer, vaccines, Alzheimer's and much more.

Would you prefer to have low wages forever, no civil rights, no truthful media, no right to choose what movies, TV shows or music we watch or listen to?

We need to bring down the true leaders of this country, the greedy billionaire oligarchs that fund the campaign of politicians that support the causes that make them richer. The only thing they care about is money. We need to hit them where it hurts - their bank accounts.

In order to do that and when possible we must stop giving them our money. We need to stop buying their products and using their services. We need to stop spending money unnecessarily. We need to make the oligarchs start paying the same taxes we do and they need to start paying their employees fair wages.

We need to support small businesses instead. Imagine if everyone stopped supporting the oligarchs owned national chain businesses and started shopping locally owned small businesses and restaurants instead. That's how we build our local economy.

Jimmy Kimmel Helped!

I am sad to report that America still has no where near the numbers of resisters we need to save our democracy but Jimmy Kimmel helped a lot. Studies show that historically, we need just a tiny 3.5% (11 million American protesters and boycotters) of the US population to effectively end the reign of the tRump, his oligarchs supporters and the administration from hell!

Tell Americans that we have lost our democracy and civil rights and they understandably, just don't believe that can happen in America and they do nothing. Threaten their entertainment and they immediately jumped up, boycotted Disney and they got Jimmy Kimmel his job back!

I am not even sure if they knew they were fighting for their own right to free speech or if they were strictly fighting for just their entertainment. Either way Kimmel helped alert Americans that the tRump was threatening our civil rights!

So if it helps motivate you to support the resistance, you all should know that the tRump, just like other evil dictators, really does want to control which TV shows, movies and music we are allowed to watch and listen to.

I sure wish we could get all of you this excited about Not Shopping! We got one man his job back. Now can we please try to end an orange man's job. By now MAGA and some of the people who didn't vote should be starting to realize that things are seriously wrong in our country. We need to reach out to these awakening citizens and help them step in to the light, discover the truth and help us restore our civil rights and rebuild our democracy!

Remember the two must effective ways to support the Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance are to Spread the Word and Stop Shopping!

PEACEFUL PROTESTS

There is great power in peaceful protests. That's what Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks and other leaders of the Civil Rights Movement taught us to do. They stood together, they were resilient, lives were sacrificed, they held their ground until they were granted the liberties they deserved! They fought so hard so that we could all be treated equally. They won their battle but sadly, we have lost our democracy and are rapidly losing our civil rights for. We need more peaceful warriors if we are going to win this New Civil Rights Movement. We must continue to protest peacefully.

The tRump is the number one Enemy of the USA. He is clearly above the law, in fact he totally disregards our laws and has no respect for the constitution. It's up to us, the citizens of the USA to end the reign of the tRump, his regime of ICE henchmen, the billionaire oligarchs who control him (hog the money you earn) and his administration from hell!

Please talk about this national movement at your No Kings Rally! The next step in the Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance!

RESISTANCE UNITED - PROTEST - STOP SPENDING - OCCUPY DC

"The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US." ~Resist Fascism

Please support Resistance United, our combined efforts to bring down the administration from hell!

Step 1 - PROTEST

On October 18, 2025, the No Kings 2 nationwide protest offers a powerful lead-up — a decentralized action that empowers people locally, then channels that momentum toward sustained resistance in Washington, D.C. Together, these three actions form an arc — from spark to enduring non-violent action.

Please use the No Kings rallies to promote the upcoming Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance events. Ask your local organizers if you can speak about ongoing and upcoming resistance events. They are always looking for speakers to motivate the crowds!

Occupy DC

Blackout the System Movement

Boycott Xmas Economic Slow Down

General Strike US

Your Local Efforts

Step 2 - STOP SPENDING

Starting Now and throughout the duration of Resistance United, I personally, imploring all of you, in solidarity, to please Stop All Unnecessary Spending! Bring down the Billionaire Oligarchs and Save our Democracy - Buy life sustaining essentials, food and medical care only!

Step 3 - OCCUPY DC

Refuse Fascism has initiated a new call to action, Occupy DC is welcoming every individual and organization from across the country, that cares about the future of humanity to pour into DC on November 5 and launch a sustained nonviolent mobilization to demand the removal of the regime! This is not a rally, nor a march. It’s when millions choose courage over compliance — and stay, until the regime falls.

The Occupy DC movement follows the same playbook that ended dictatorships from Poland (1980s) to Tunisia (2011) — proof that peaceful persistence can topple tyranny. The time has come for…THE FALL of the TRUMP FASCIST REGIME, Beginning November 5, 2025 – Washington DC.

SAVE OUR MEDICAL SERVICES

Indivisible.org' founder Ezra Levin is calling for urgent actions (ahead of the October 18 No Kings Day protests) to save our Medical Services! Please read the attached article below and join us.

“Dems are showing a little backbone. Our job is to stiffen it. Our goal is not a shutdown -- it’s building an opposition party that uses its leverage to reduce human harm and slow the march toward authoritarianism. Whether Republicans drive us into a shutdown or not, our success depends on Democrats holding strong rather than simply surrendering again.

Republicans will not change course if they think they can just roll over Dems again. And Dems will not stay strong unless they feel like they have the support to do so. This is a week when your calls, your visits to congressional offices, and your level of vocal support really matter.” - Ezra Levin

Urgent Call to Action:

Call (202) 224-3121 NOW and tell your Senators to Save the Affordable (Obama) Care Act and Medicaid.

The Republicans have forced the government to shut down because they refuse to negotiate with the Democrats who are trying to save our Medical Services.

We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. If the Government doesn't reopen federal workers and potentially the citizens they serve will face intense hardship. But if the Government reopens millions of Americans will lose their medical services.

Hardships from the shutdown should be recoverable with time. But people will die without their medications or medical care. Think about the children, many who lead happy productive lives because of their life saving medications. Without our insurance, our life expectancy will decrease significantly.

Call your Democratic representatives now and tell them that we support them! Tell them to do whatever they have to do to save our Medical Services!

Call your Republican representatives and tell them to stop kissing their Führer's ass. Demand they restore our Medical Services immediately!

Support the Democrats on this issue. Shame on Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine supporting the Republicans who refuse to protect our democracy and our human services. Call them and demand they protect our insurance.

Stop playing their game. Nationwide Strike ASAP! No work, no school, no gas. Shut down the country until every single traitor is removed from any position of power. Seize their assets and convict. America has an opportunity to control what happens next. November is coming, stay home with your family, skip rent/mortgage/bills for November. Take care of your family, shop local, and show them that we don't need them, they need us! They are taking food stamps away for the vulnerable starting the month of November, let's support each other and stop playing their game 🤝🌎✌️

This is all very important. One misspelled word makes it seem somebody was not paying attention so if you can, please change "suffragettes" (the British term) to "suffragists" (the US term). Accuracy matters.
