Ending Abusive Institutions (ICE)
Government institutions that violate human rights, operate without accountability, or undermine constitutional values must be dismantled and replaced with humane, lawful systems.
When the System Fails Workers Act
America runs on workers. When workers stand together, institutions are forced to listen.
Learn Why This Matters →Why This Movement Exists
When governments and corporations ignore the law, undermine rights, or prioritize profit over people, ordinary workers are left with few tools to respond.
Throughout American history, collective labor action has been one of the most effective ways to force accountability - when voting, courts, and institutions fail to deliver justice.
This movement is rooted in shared realities:
- Rising costs of living
- Declining job security
- Weakened democratic accountability
- Erosion of civil rights
"Striking is not radical. It is one of the most powerful democratic tools working people have ever used."
Our Demands
These demands reflect widely shared American values: accountability under the law, dignity of work, and equal rights for all people.
Rule of Law & Democratic Accountability
Elected officials must follow the law without exception and remain accountable to the people they serve.
Worker Power & Economic Security
Workers must have the unquestioned right to organize, strike, and demand fair wages, safe workplaces, and economic stability.
Civil & Human Rights
Democratic institutions, voting rights, and civil liberties must be protected from erosion or abuse.
Myth vs Reality
Strikes have been part of American life for over a century. Here's what the evidence actually shows.
Myth
"Strikes are illegal."
People often think striking will get you arrested or fired. It sounds risky, so many workers never even try.
Reality
Collective action is protected by U.S. law.
The National Labor Relations Act (1935) explicitly protects workers' right to strike and organize. It's the law of the land. Workers cannot be fired simply for striking. Yes, there are limits—you can't strike to break a contract or engage in violence—but the basic right is real and enforceable.
Why it matters: When workers know their rights, they're more likely to use them. Strikes happen regularly in America—teachers, nurses, autoworkers, warehouse workers. They're not rare or illegal. They're a normal part of how workers push back.
Myth
"Strikes don't work anymore."
The economy is too big, companies are too powerful, and workers are too divided. Striking feels pointless—like shouting into the void.
Reality
Strikes have won major gains in recent years.
Teachers in red states won raises and school funding. Autoworkers secured wage increases and job protections. Healthcare workers improved staffing ratios. Warehouse workers forced companies to address safety concerns. These aren't ancient history—they happened in the last few years.
Why it matters: When workers organize and withhold their labor, employers listen. Companies depend on workers. No workers, no profit. That leverage is real and it still works.
Myth
"Unions are corrupt."
Union leaders are out of touch. They take workers' money and don't deliver. Unions protect bad workers and stifle innovation.
Reality
This is oversimplified and misleading.
Yes, some unions have had problems. Corruption exists in any large organization—corporations, governments, nonprofits. But the solution isn't to abandon collective power. It's to demand transparency and democracy within unions.
Union workers earn more, have better benefits, and face fewer workplace injuries than non-union workers. That's not corruption—that's leverage working. And workers can hold their unions accountable. Many are doing exactly that right now.
Why it matters: Collective action doesn't require a perfect institution. It requires workers deciding together that they deserve better. That's the real power.
Myth
"A strike only works if it happens immediately and spontaneously."
Real action is unplanned and immediate. Organized preparation is seen as inauthentic or weak.
Reality
The most effective strikes are planned and coordinated.
Historically, the most effective labor actions were not spontaneous. They were the result of preparation, coordination, and broad participation. Without sufficient awareness, readiness, and critical mass, workers assume higher personal risk with limited impact.
Why it matters: Timing matters — collective action is most effective when conditions support meaningful leverage. Strategic preparation amplifies worker power.
