Today marks the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. On this day in 1775, every day people stood up to the empire. They fired the first shots in what would become a long and bloody fight for independence, fueled not by greed but by a belief that self-governance, liberty, and justice were worth the risk of everything.

But what would those revolutionaries think of America in 2025?

Would they recognize a system where billionaires and corporations write our laws with their wallets? Would they see democracy in a government where the vast majority of Americans support common-sense reforms like universal background checks to purchase firearms, affordable healthcare, and fair wages, yet Congress does nothing?

Would they call it “freedom” when lobbyists hand over checks, and in return receive tax breaks, subsidies, and sweetheart legislation that robs the public blind?

We’re not ruled by kings anymore. We’re ruled by cash.

From Redcoats to PACs: The Modern Tyranny

The colonists revolted against taxation without representation. Today, we face representation without accountability.

Our political system is drowning in dirty money. Corporations spend billions on lobbying and campaign donations, and for every $1 they spend, they get an average return of $760 in government benefits. That’s not democracy—it’s a rigged game. And working families are losing.

Veterans sleep in the streets while defense contractors cash billion-dollar checks.

People die because they can’t afford insulin, while Big Pharma bankrolls politicians.

Members of Congress trade stocks based on insider knowledge while Americans work two jobs to afford rent.

Let’s be honest: This is not a government by the people. It’s a government bought by the few, for the few.

A Revolution Worth Fighting For

The American Revolution was not just about escaping British rule—it was about building something better. That dream still matters. But the tools of tyranny have evolved. No longer muskets and monarchs. Now it’s dark money, corporate PACs, and insider trading.

The good news? Just like in 1775, the power to change everything still lies with us, the people.

It starts with reclaiming our democracy from the grip of greed. And that’s exactly what the Money Out of Politics (MOP) Movement is doing.

We’re building a non-partisan, nationwide campaign to take back political power and restore integrity in government. This isn’t about left vs. right. It’s about right vs. wrong.

And on July 27, 2025, we’re taking that fight to Washington, D.C., with the March for Integrity.

The Demands of a New Revolution

Our demands are simple, popular, and long overdue:

  • Ban Lobbyist Gifts: End the legalized bribery. No more special favors for special interests.
  • End Congressional Stock Trading: Elected officials should serve the public, not their portfolios
  • Pass a Constitutional Amendment: Get unlimited money out of our elections and restore real campaign finance limits at the states’ discretion.

This is our shot to finish what the Founders started: a government truly of, by, and for the people.

We’re Not Asking. We’re Assembling.

It took 56 men to sign the Declaration of Independence. In July, we’ll bring 2 million people to the National Mall to demand a new kind of freedom—the freedom from corporate rule.

This isn’t performative. It’s not symbolic. It’s strategic, coordinated, and backed by veterans, scholars, workers, students, and everyday citizens across the country.

We’ve launched local organizing hubs in all 50 states. We’re building coalitions across ideologies. And we’re using every tool at our disposal to connect, educate, and mobilize.

If you feel like your voice doesn’t matter, you’re exactly who this movement is for.

If you’ve lost faith in our political system, you’re not alone, and you’re not powerless.

If you believe that democracy should not be for sale, this is your revolution.

The Second American Revolution Won’t Be Fought With Guns—It’ll Be Fought With Peaceful People Power

In 1775, farmers, merchants, and blacksmiths stood up to the most powerful empire in the world.

In 2025, we stand up to the most powerful corporations in the world.

The tools may have changed. The stakes have not.

Join us. Rise with us. March with us.

Because 250 years later, the dream of a truly representative democracy is still worth fighting for.
