WE'RE PULLING THE PLUG ON CORPORATE CONTROL
7 DAYS OF GIVEMAS
// SYSTEM REBOOT: COMMUNITY POWER LOADING ...
From economic resistance to community power
The biggest threat to fascism is community
// 7 DAYS OF GIVEMAS: December 18 – December 24
IT'S NOT CHARITY - IT'S SOLIDARITY
Our corporate-controlled system and corrupt government are failing us. The solution lies in community solidarity.
7 Days of Givemas
The Mass Blackout Coalition (MB) is launching "7 Days of Givemas". This initiative empowers individuals to support one another and build community resilience. Our strength comes from both withholding support from corporations and building community solidarity.
The Power of Mutual Aid
Mutual aid emphasizes solidarity, recognizing that our well-being and dignity are connected. Our survival depends on cooperation and not only in crisis. Mutual aid fosters collective uplift for all.
Participate in Any Way You Can
We invite everyone to pledge to an act of mutual aid each day for seven days. Each day below offers ways to engage, but also feel free to spin the "Acts of Solidarity Wheel" for additional ideas. If daily participation isn’t possible, contribute as you can.
This is mutual aid at scale.
