ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM is a national movement born out of frustration, injustice, and the undeniable truth that the people hold the power - not corrupt governments, not billionaires, not broken systems.

We are shutting down the U.S. economy - strategically and peacefully - by removing our labor, our spending, our financial support, forcing the system to listen.

This movement launched to reclaim power, restore justice, and unite citizens across all races, cultures, and classes.

What We Stand For

Our nation has been under siege. The constitution has been attacked. The people have been lied to, oppressed, robbed, and degraded. The current administration has been bought. Our veterans have been abandoned, our elderly have been left wanting, benefits have been removed from our children, and families are being torn apart each day. It is time for this to stop.
WE THE PEOPLE WILL STOP IT.

SPEAKING OUT AGAINST INJUSTICE

UNITY AND THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE

WINNING TOGETHER

Not Just Another Protest. A Reset.

WHY WE BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM

We are done funding our own oppression. We are done being silent while the system exploits us, divides us, and works against us.

This movement is peaceful. But it is POWERFUL. We are using the greatest leverage we have - our unity and economic power - to bring the system down to its knees.

NO to Dictatorship
NO to Corporate Greed
NO to Blind Obedience
NO to Racism & Oppression
NO to Fascism

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.
W

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.

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.

GET INVOLVED. BE THE POWER. YOU ARE THE IMPACT.

MASS BLACKOUT
September 16th - 20th

Prepare for the IMPACT!
There is time to make sure you have everything you need for this BLACKOUT, and ensure you plan for the greatest impact possible.

To prevent "spike spending" before and after the BLACKOUT, we ask that all participants purchase goods needed from community-owned stores and markets leading up to the dates. This helps with sustained impact and keeps our money out of the mega businesses' pockets.

- No Work
- No Spending
- No Travel
- No Projects
- No Events
- No Restaurants
- NO BACKING OUT!!!

Other Ways to Push Back

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

Stop Giving Them An Interest Free Loan

Adjust your W-4. Check your Taxes. Every paycheck, they take more than you owe — then give it back without interest at tax time. Adjust your W-4 so you keep more in your pocket now, instead of letting them use it all year.

Starve The Corporations

Remove/withdraw your money from the banks. Banks lend your money to corporations that purchase politicians who make policies against the people. Regional credit unions are a better option.

Cancel Subscriptions

Anything unnecessary - CUT IT. Put your money back in your pockets and drive a wedge between your resources and their products.

Spread the Word

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