PROJECT 335 ECONOMIC TAKEBACK
Together we can make a change
July 4 to September 1
ABOUT PROJECT 335
The Mission
Project 335 is a movement representing the power of the 335 million people who make up America, rising up against the tyranny of the 1% who hoard wealth and power. We, the people, will reclaim our economic might and cripple the corporations that enable the assault on our fundamental human rights. We will not stand idly by as they dismantle reproductive freedom, attack equal opportunity, erase the voices of marginalized communities, and terrorize immigrants. This is a fight for the soul of America, and Project 335 welcomes every American, regardless of background or belief, to join the resistance. We will not be silenced. We will not be divided. We will take back our power.

Our Chance to
Make a Change
Our Goal
To demonstrate the collective power of 335 million Americans and cripple the economic influence of corporations that support policies and actions that undermine fundamental human rights.
The HOW:
Economic Takeback
We will achieve this by initiating a nationwide economic boycott, halting all purchasing and streaming from major retail companies and social media platforms. This economic shutdown will commence on July 4th, 2025 (Independence Day), symbolizing our reclamation of power and our commitment to a just and equitable society. The period leading up to this date will be dedicated to strategic planning, community mobilization, and ensuring individuals are prepared for the economic freeze. This collective action will send an undeniable message: We, the people, will not tolerate the erosion of our rights and the concentration of power in the hands of the few. We will take back our power.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
THE BIG PUSH: We are all interconnected. The "Six Degrees of Separation" theory reminds us that anyone, anywhere, is just a few connections away. Each of us holds a piece of this vast network. Think about who you know – those with influence, those with platforms. Reach out. Share the vision of Project 335. From local gatherings to national media, every voice matters. Let's amplify our message and spread this movement like wildfire.
Our History:
The Impact of Boycotts
Throughout history, boycotts have served as powerful tools for social change, demonstrating the collective strength of individuals united in a common cause. From the Montgomery Bus Boycott, ignited by Rosa Parks and championed by figures like Rev. Sharpton and Bernard Lafayette, to the tireless advocacy of Dolores Huerta and Dr. Alice Paul for women's suffrage, these actions have reshaped societies and challenged oppressive systems. The activism of figures like Angela Davis, Jamel Joseph, and Charles Barron, who emerged from the Black Panther movement, highlights the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality. Similarly, the LGBTQ+ rights movement has been propelled by courageous leaders who challenged discrimination and fought for visibility and equality like Harvey Milk, Marsha P. Johnson, and Sylvia Rivera. These individuals, through their courage and commitment, have shown that together we can dismantle unjust structures and pave the way for a more equitable future.

10 Ways to Resist
By Robert Reich
UC Berkeley Professor & former Secretary of Labor
1
Protect the decent and hardworking members of your communities who are undocumented or whose parents are undocumented
This is an urgent moral call to action. As Donald Trump's Ice begins roundups and deportations, many good people are endangered and understandably frightened.
One of Trump's new executive orders allows Ice to arrest undocumented immigrants at or near schools, places of worship, healthcare sites, shelters, and relief centers - thereby deterring them from sending their kids to school or getting the help they need.
If you trust your mayor or city manager, check in with their offices to see what they are doing to protect vulnerable families in your community. Join others in voluntary efforts to keep Ice away from schools, hospitals, and shelters.
Organize and mobilize your community to support it as a sanctuary city, and to support your state as a sanctuary state. Trump's justice department is already launching investigations of cities and states that go against federal immigration orders, laying the groundwork for legal challenges to local laws and forcing compliance with the executive branch. Your voice and organization could help fight back.
2
Protect LGBTQ+ members of your community
Trump may make life far more difficult for those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and of other expansive identities through executive orders, changes in laws, alterations in civil rights laws, or changes in how such laws are enforced.
His election and his rhetoric might also unleash hatefulness by bigoted people in your community.
I urge you to work with others in being vigilant against prejudice and bigotry, wherever it might break out. When you see or hear it, call it out. Join with others to stop it. If you trust your local city officials, get them involved. If you trust your local police, alert them as well.
3
Help protect officials in your community or state whom Trump and his administration are targeting for vengeance
Some may be low-level officials, such as election workers. If they do not have the means to legally defend themselves, you might help them or consider a GoFundMe campaign. If you hear of anyone who seeks to harm them, immediately alert law enforcement officials.
4
Participate or organize boycotts of companies that are enabling the Trump regime, starting with Elon Musk's X and Tesla, and any companies that advertise on X or Fox News
Don't underestimate the effectiveness of consumer boycotts. Corporations invest heavily in their brand names and the goodwill associated with them. Loud, boisterous, attention-getting boycotts can harm brand names and reduce the prices of corporations' shares of stock.
5
To the extent you are able, fund groups that are litigating against Trump
Much of the action over the next months and years will be in the federal courts. The groups initiating legislation that I know and trust include the American Civil Liberties Union, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the Center for Biological Diversity, the Environmental Defense Fund, and Common Cause.
6
Spread the truth
Get news through reliable sources, and spread it. If you hear anyone spreading lies and Trump propaganda, including local media, contradict them with facts and their sources.
7
Urge friends, relatives, and acquaintances to avoid Trump propaganda outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, X, and, increasingly, Facebook and Instagram
They are increasingly filled with hateful bigotry and toxic and dangerous lies. For some people, these propaganda sources can also be addictive; help the people you know wean themselves off them.
8
Push for progressive measures in your community and state
Local and state governments have significant power. Join groups that are moving your city or state forward, in contrast to regressive moves at the federal level. Lobby, instigate, organize, and fundraise for progressive legislators. Support progressive leaders.
9
Encourage worker action
Most labor unions are on the right side - seeking to build worker power and resist repression. You can support them by joining picket lines and boycotts and encouraging employees to organize in places you patronize.
