While working people are struggling to stay housed, support their families, and keep our neighbors safe, Antonio Gracias is getting richer. Gracias is the founder, CEO and CIO of Valor Equity Partners with $26 billion in assets, and a close advisor to Elon Musk. As part of the DOGE team, he spearheaded massive cuts to Social Security — putting millions at risk and unfairly laying off dedicated workers, and he is fueling ICE attacks across our cities, spreading dangerous misinformation about our immigrant neighbors and friends. As our communities live in fear, and struggle with rising costs of living, Gracias’ net worth has grown to $2.2 billion.
This is what happens when billionaires hold too much power and zero accountability. Our retirement security and Social Security benefits are threatened, hard-won rights are being eroded, and our data privacy is disappearing. Enough is enough.
That’s why, on August 5, we’re coming together—in cities across the country—to say: Our families come first. Not billionaires. Not politicians. Not corporate greed. We’re joining forces with working people across the country to say no to billionaire overreach and public harm, and demanding
- Public accountability —including full transparency around Antonio Gracias’ actions at DOGE.
- Restore full staffing at the Social Security Administration.
- Stop the scapegoating and deportation of immigrants.
- A government that serves the people, not billionaires.
Billionaires like Antonio Gracias have no business shaping public policy that affects millions of working people. That’s why we’re demanding clear boundaries, transparency, and accountability for anyone in government who also answers to corporate power.
RSVP now to join Bay Area working families in Palo Alto on Tuesday, August 5, as part of the Families First Day of Action across the country, who will come together in peaceful marches, rallies, and events to say — our families come first, and we will protect each other!
WHO: Working people , families, neighbors, and community allies
WHAT: Day of Action – Families First, Not Billionaires
