Human Rights and a Habitable Planet are not niceties. They are necessities. They are not a request. They are a demand. Progress is a loaded word but without these basic elements can anything truly be considered progress? As our hard won human, worker, civil, and environmental rights are stripped away we stand in defiance of those who would put their boot on our necks. The United States has a checkered history, gradually granting the franchise and making efforts to protect nature, but it has always been a work in progress. Make America Great. Period. These reactionary neo-fascist forces will NOT stop the March of Progress!
Power concedes nothing without a demand.

Demand Social, Environmental, and Economic Justice!
Human rights are for all humans. Until this simple fact is a lived reality we will continue the struggle. Humanity would benefit from a little more humanity.
The United States has unfortunately been denying people basic rights. This is unacceptable. Statuses like religion, pigmentation, or documentation cannot be used to deny anyone their basic human rights.
With the planned expansion of a system of concentration camps to include warehouses "like Prime, but for human beings" one cannot help but recall the horrors of 20th century Europe. The eugenic push for mass deportation needs to stop.
For bribery, the usurpation of the powers of Congress, the denial of Constitutionally protected rights, the comission of war crimes, and a multitude of other offenses
We demand the Impeachment, Conviction, and Removal of Donald J. Trump.
Progress has often been used as an excuse to plunder our common natural heritage. We have despoiled this planet to the point that we are CAUSING a mass extinction.
The stark reality is that we cannot survive without the complex web of life that makes the Earth unique. We need to protect biodiversity and become the stewards of life.
Currently those least responsible will face the worst consequences of offenses like the climate crisis. Often they are the least financially capable to address the hardships as well.
"Drill baby drill" is a murder suicide note. We will not stand by while life is so recklessly endangered.
As our very survival depends on the world ecosystems
We demand that Congress pass a Green New Deal
In 2025 the richest 0.01% of people HID more money in offshore accounts to avoid taxes than a full 50% of people OWN.
Such egregious disparity in wealth endangers our democratic systems of government and the freedom of humanity.
Technologies like artificial intelligence are set to potentially displace large portions of the work force and allow for automated surveilance.
Meanwhile the American federal government looks like a charicature of corruption. Oligarchy and Democracy are incompatible. A government of by and for the billionaire serves very few.
To preserve our liberty, dignity, and security
We demand that Congress Tax the Rich
