DESCRIPTION:Make the Billionaires Pay! Merced Protest for Climate Justice & 
 Democracy\n\nSaturday, September 20, 2025 at 11 AM to 2 PM\n\nPost: 
 https://womensmarch.controlshift.app/events/merced-draw-the-line-make-billionaires-pay-1\n\nWebsite: 
 https://www.makebillionairespay.us/\n\nWorld leaders will gather at the 
 United Nations for General Assembly & Climate Week in NYC in the third week 
 of September 2025, and people across the U.S. and around the globe are 
 coming together to protest.\n\nWe are uniting to exercise our 1st Amendment 
 rights, here and across the world to demand a better future for our 
 communities and for all living beings.\n\nAs the United States braces for 
 extreme heat, wildfires, and hurricanes, the Trump administration just 
 rammed through a mega-bill defunding our communities to give handouts to 
 billionaires. Among Trump's billionaire buddies, a handful of Big Oil & Gas 
 executives are raking in profits while the rest of us pay the price of 
 rising costs, toxic pollution, and worsening climate 
 disasters.\n\nThey’re dismantling our democracy, attacking immigrants, 
 and feeding the war profiteers. The attacks on our people are directly tied 
 to the attacks on our planet. The billionaire fascists are hoarding 
 resources and leaving working class communities across the globe to face 
 the impacts of the extreme weather and rising seas.\n\nAll across the 
 world, authoritarian regimes are on the rise, but people are fighting back. 
 We are uniting across the world to demand a better future for our 
 communities and for all living beings.\n\n--Shut down billionaires. Fund 
 our future.\n\n--Shut down fascists. Protect migrants and the global 
 majority.\n\n--Shut down polluters. Defend Mother Earth.\n\nWe are rising 
 up for our people and our planet. Come join 
 us!\n\n#EndFascism\n#ClimateCrisis\n#ClimateJustice\n#RacialJustice\n#GenderJustice\n#SaveDemocracy\n
