OUR MANIFESTO

Our Goals:

We are taking bold, peaceful, and powerful action by withdrawing our financial support from the corporate elite and their political puppets. This movement is driven by the belief that we, as consumers, have the ability to redirect the flow of capital away from those who profit from injustice, inequality, and exploitation.

We will no longer fund those who contribute to the destruction of human rights, the environment, and our democracy. We will cut ties with corporations and individuals who:

• Exploit workers, suppress wages, and contribute to the widening wealth gap.

• Attack civil rights, restrict freedom of speech, and undermine our democracy.

• Contribute to environmental degradation and the ongoing destruction of our planet.

• Fund political agendas that promote hate, division, and disenfranchisement.

• Manipulate technology to invade our privacy, sell our data, and limit our freedoms.

Our Demands:

We will not stand idly by while our government is hijacked by corporate interests and political extremists. We demand a shift—a transformation of our society—one that puts people over profit, justice over corruption, and equality over oppression. Our demands are clear:

• Economic Justice for All: A fair economy that works for the many, not just the few.

• Healthcare for All: Universal healthcare that guarantees physical and mental well-being.

• Education Reform: A system that values students and teachers over profits and test scores.

• Justice System Reform: A criminal justice system that is fair, accountable, and equitable.

• Guaranteed Civil Rights: The protection of rights for all, regardless of race, gender, or creed.

• Environmental Action: Immediate and meaningful steps to combat climate change and protect our planet.

• Accessible Housing: Safe, stable, and affordable housing for every citizen.

• Immigration Reform: A humane, fair, and just approach to immigration policy.

• Government Accountability: Transparency, honesty, and accountability in all branches of government.

• Reproductive Rights: A woman’s right to choose and control her own body.

• Electoral Reform: A fair voting system that represents all citizens, not just the elite.

• Digital Privacy: The protection of our data and privacy in a digital age.

• Freedom of Speech and Protest: The right to dissent and protest without fear of repression.

• Indigenous Sovereignty: Recognition and respect for the rights of Indigenous peoples.

• Corporate Accountability: Corporations that are responsible for their actions and the impact they have on people and the planet.

Our Call to Action:

Shutdown315 is a movement of economic nonparticipation. We are withdrawing our support from the companies, politicians, and individuals who perpetuate harm and profit off of our suffering.

• We will boycott the platforms and companies that fund oppression. No longer will we use the social media networks that manipulate our data and feed us division. Instead, we will support ethical alternatives. We will shop locally, we will seek out ethical businesses, and we will choose options that align with our values.

• We will divest from the systems that empower the wealthy elite, refusing to finance their endless accumulation of wealth at the expense of the people.

• We will organize, building a community of resistance that will not be swayed by corporate interests or partisan politics. Together, we will create a movement too powerful to ignore.

We will not back down. We will not accept the status quo. We will build a new world—one where the people’s needs are put above corporate greed, and where justice is no longer a luxury for the few.

We the People are Rising.

The time has come for us to take a stand—not just against the forces that seek to divide us, but against the very system that allows them to thrive. The billionaires, the oligarchs, and the corrupt power structures that run our government and economy are no longer satisfied with the status quo. They seek to silence our voices, strip away our rights, and reshape this nation into one that serves only the wealthy few. But we, the people, will not be silenced. We will not be complicit.

Shutdown315 is our call to action.

This is a movement of nonparticipation. It is a movement built on the idea that our collective power can no longer be bought, sold, or manipulated by those who do not have our best interests at heart. We are walking away from a system that has long been rigged against us. We are withdrawing our support, our money, and our loyalty from those who profit from division, oppression, and the erosion of our fundamental rights.

We will no longer play by their rules. We will no longer allow our wealth to fuel the destruction of our democracy, our rights, and our future.

To the Billionaire Oligarchs and Their Political Puppets:

Your time is up. You thought you could divide us, manipulate us, and profit from our suffering. You thought you could erase our rights and diminish our power. But you were wrong. We are the people, and we will not be denied.

Shutdown315 is a movement for economic justice, human dignity, and the preservation of our democracy. We will withdraw our support from your institutions, and we will no longer fund the systems that perpetuate inequality, injustice, and human suffering.

We the People are Rising.

The world is changing. We are changing it. The era of corporate dominance is over. The era of the people has begun.

We will not back down. We will not compromise. We will not be silenced.

Shutdown315: A movement of economic nonparticipation. A movement for justice, equality, and freedom.

We the People will not be denied.
