Digital resistance from anywhere

Defund
Billionaires

We've marched. We've called. We've resisted.

Here's what we do next:

A digital economic strike.
Defund the billionaires behind fascism.
Build better platforms.

Every subscription is a donation to Trump.

Every scroll on their platforms funds fascism.

Politicians won't stop them.

We can. Together.

Defund them. Switch to alternatives. Build what replaces them.

Digital resistance from anywhere

A strike anyone can join

Traditional strikes are powerful. They're also really fucking complex. You risk losing your job and income that you can't afford to lose (bills!).

This is different.

Keep your job. Pay your bills. Cancel Prime from your couch at 11pm in your pajamas.

Your economic power isn't just in your wallet anymore. It's in your attention. Your data. Your subscriptions. Every scroll, every auto-renewal—that's money flowing straight to them.

When millions of us cut off these billionaires? Their quarterly earnings tank. Stock prices nosedive. They notice. They panic.

Death by a million cancellations.

Can't afford to miss work? Don't. Just cancel. Have kids? Perfect. Cancel while they're watching Bluey. Delete Instagram while binge-watching Heated Rivalry for the third time.

Just open your phone. Cancel. Delete. Done.

Billionaires have spent decades making us think we're powerless. They were lying. We've been funding them this whole time.

Not anymore.

Defund Billionaires

Defund. Switch. Build.

Defund

Why are we still paying them to bankroll fascism? Cancel one. Cancel them all. When millions act, they notice.

Build

Leaving isn't enough. We need to build the alternative.

Canceling subscriptions hurts their bottom line. That's important. But it's not enough.

We need to build digital infrastructure that can't be bought by the next billionaire. Platforms owned by users, not shareholders. Marketplaces owned by local merchants, not Bezos. Social networks we govern, not Zuckerberg.

We're building it. Join us.

What We're Building

Social and other platforms owned by the people who use them

Co-op alternatives to Instagram, Facebook, and X. Governed democratically. Can't be sold to billionaires.

Marketplace co-ops owned by local merchants

City-based alternatives to Amazon. Owned by bookstores, makers, and artisans. Money stays local.

This is a 20-25 year project. We're starting now.

Current focus (2026):

Kith & Kin

Social app that optimizes for closeness, not clout. Becoming a user-owned co-op (SF)

SF Marketplace Co-op

Books + home goods alternative to Amazon, owned by local merchants

Your city's marketplace

Launch a co-op where you live

Who we need:

  • Developers — Build the platforms
  • Designers — Make them beautiful and usable
  • Organizers — Launch co-ops in your city
  • Users — Become founding members

Monthly builder calls — First Tuesday, 8pm ET / 5pm PT

No venture capital — Democratic ownership prevents capture

About Us

This project started in San Francisco as one person's frustration with tech billionaires collaborating with authoritarianism. It's quickly becoming something bigger: a growing community of people using their economic power to fight back.

We believe defunding works—Disney lost 3 million subscribers when people organized. Amazon is next. But we're also building the alternatives: co-op platforms owned by workers and users, not shareholders. Resistance and construction, together.
