The Take it Back
Movement

If a company is successful, its employees should be too

But that's not the case anymore. So we're Blacking Out The System September 17th and putting up thousands of stickers across the country.

To show everyone the truth.

This is a recruiting campaign to push back. It starts with Free Stickers and rises to a nationwide boycott

Black Out The System September 17th.

It used to be in America, that if you did the hard work, you got your fair share of the reward. You could afford housing, healthcare and got some security.

But greedy corporations froze wages. Raised prices. And they raked in record profits.

Then the politicians took their bribes and rewrote the rules.

Now 80% of Americans can't afford a $5,000 emergency.

That's 208 million people who are one medical issue or unexpected repair from financial ruin.

That's not everyone forgetting how to budget at once. That's a rigged system.

We're all working harder than ever but we're falling farther behind.

So what are we going to do about it?

Phase 1: Speaking Out

The Free Stickers break the fear of speaking out. They show people they are not alone. And they give them the courage to act.

Phase 2: Pushing Back

Coordinated push back spreads.

Small Actions. Big Proof.

Every Friday, we move together.

13,000 stickers out across the country because we all want one thing. We just want security. We're the ones who do the hard work, but we don't have enough money. And we need money to live. Money buys housing. Money buys healthcare. And money puts food on the table. But most of all, money buys security. We just want our hard work to provide use with some security. This isn't about awareness, it's a recruiting campaign. Because everyone feels this. And we all want a way to push back. But it's scary to speak out. It's hard to know what to do and what will be effective. The Free Stickers break that fear. They make it easy to speak out and push back against the lies. But they're just the first step. It starts with Free Stickers and rises to a nationwide boycott September 16th-20th. Step 1: Recognition - Putting truth in public with Free Stickers. Not as merch, as a marching a call. A recruiting tool to find others. Step 2: Coordinated Push Back Push back is anything you can do to cost the people in control in time, money, or power. We are already "Quiet Quitting" we just have to coordinate our quiet quitting to have an impact. And it all builds to...

BLACK OUT THE SYSTEM

Sept 16th - 20th

A full on economic black out. If you are able to, don't work. Don't buy anything. And if you have to buy something. Buy local. Lets' shut it down.

We're hitting the corporations where it hurts the most: Their wallets.

It starts with a sticker. And it ends when we take it all back.

What You Can Do Now

Every person can take an action. It's a whole menu of ways to push back. Together we become unstoppable.

Join the Sticker Team

This is where it starts.

Share this movement with friends, family, coworkers and across all social media platforms. NOW IS THE TIME TO UNITE.

Every new sticker is proof that someone else has had enough.

Your first mission:

Put up at least 1 sticker in public.

Take 2 photos and send them in.

Have 3 conversations about what it means.

We post your photos on the national map. Showing the movement’s spread in real time. People see it. They join in. That’s the funnel.

Why it works: Silence is the system’s greatest weapon. Stickers make the frustration impossible to ignore and turn you into a beacon for others nearby.

Join the Pressure Campaign

After the first spark, we coordinate.

Members from multiple cities pick the same day to act. So it hits all at once. Coordinated "quiet quitting" from all of us.

We'll give you the playbook for low-risk actions that slow their machine.

Pick your day and join others doing it at the same time.

Report back so we can amplify the win.

Why it works: One person cutting back gets ignored. Thousands at once creates national impact that can’t be spun away.

Build Local Power

Join the Community Builders.

Make your city unshakable.

In dozens of towns, people are already running skill shares, farmers markets, and tool libraries.

Your role:

Host a local meetup or support an existing one.

Share skills, swap tools, and support local workers.

Show your neighbors we can take care of each other without corporate permission.

Why it works: Parallel systems weaken their grip and make long-term resistance possible.

The Path Forward

We will move others to recognize the problem. The Greed.

Once they recognize, we move them to coordinate.

And after we start coordinating, we escalate and ratchet up the pressure.

All the while, we build community and develop the systems that are coming next.

Recognize → Stickers break the silence.

Coordinate → Pressure actions hit all at once.

Escalate → Local networks make us unshakable.

Pick your lane. Sign up. The second you do, you’ll get plugged into a national team that’s already moving.

Until now, there hasn’t been a clear way to fight back every day.

This is that path.
