We fight against spy drones, facial recognition, tracking equipment and online tracking, police body camera secrecy, anti-transparency laws, and requirements for “backdoors” to cellphones; we oppose “pre-crime” and “thought-crime,” — to list just a few invasions of our privacy by all levels of Government, and attempts to hide what government officials, employees and agencies are doing.
Trans March is not a parade, but an act of resistance. Furthermore, Trans March is an opportunity for us to draw the connections between the struggles of oppressed people beyond the imperial core. Immigrant rights and trans rights are one struggle, one fight!

“No bank has bent to the knee to Trump as dramatically as Wells Fargo,
- the only bank to have dropped its climate commitments,
- funds Palantir, a company that works with ICE to target and deport immigrants,
- funds Elbit Systems, a provider of weapons and technologies to the Israeli military, which is committing genocide in Palestine,
- engaging in full-throated union busting,
- planning to privatize the post office and sell it off for parts.”

THIS ACTION IS PART OF “STOP BILLIONAIRES SUMMER, an eight-week campaign focused on mass action, civil disobedience, and movement-building targeting the billionaire and corporate elites fueling the crises we’re living through.”
“From Elon Musk’s techno-fascist empire to fossil fuel financiers and real estate tycoons, we’re coming for the billionaires who are attacking our communities and stealing our future. And we’re organizing to win.”
From mid-July to September, actions will especially target the tech oligarchy and other billionaire backers of fossil fuel and Trump’s programs.
Organizers describe how previous actions have demonstrated the power of prolonged, disruptive protest. In last summer’s Summer of Heat on Wall Street, more than 5,000 people converged on New York to disrupt the financial backers of fossil fuels, with a special focus on blockading Citibank, a key investor.
The following December, Citi announced a major improvement in its climate policies, promising to step down fossil fuel investments more quickly than any other bank’s plans.
