This Is Our Record. Our Resistance. Our Demand for Accountability.
We’re building this platform to prepare for a mass tort against systems that have caused nationwide harm — from private equity and corporate profiteering to unjust policies and systemic neglect. But this is bigger than a lawsuit. This is a collective stand — not for money, but for lasting change. It will take all of us to force a system to change that has stopped working for the people it’s supposed to serve. We are not powerless. We are united, and together, we will hold these systems accountable.
🖊 Sign the DeclarationThe Federal Government Was Created by the States — Not the Other Way Around
We reject the false narrative that the federal government holds supreme power over the states or the people. The United States was founded on a principle of sovereign states voluntarily uniting under a limited federal structure. Over time, this balance has been violated.
From over-taxation and federal mandates that benefit for-profit insurance companies and banks, to distorted census data and forced toll roads — federal overreach has eroded local control and the public’s right to self-determination.
The 10th Amendment makes it clear: powers not granted to the federal government remain with the states and the people. This platform stands for restoring that balance — lawfully, peacefully, and powerfully.
Complicity at All Levels: Federal and State Governments Have Failed to Protect the People
We hold both the federal and state governments responsible for allowing systemic harm to continue unchecked. The federal government, created to serve the people and coordinate the states, has instead imposed mandates, protected monopolies, and failed to stop states from violating the rights of their residents.
Meanwhile, the states — sovereign entities designed to be protectors of their people — have been silent or complicit, allowing federal overreach and participating in harmful corporate-aligned laws and mandates. This dual failure is not just immoral — it's unconstitutional.
A government that allows harm from above and below cannot claim to represent the people. We demand accountability from both levels — not just in words, but in court.
What About the Rights Not Written Down?
The 9th Amendment reminds us that our rights don’t end where the Constitution’s text stops. It tells us:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Today, both government and corporations are working together to sidestep your constitutional protections. But your rights — to privacy, dignity, safe housing, health, and freedom from corporate control — still belong to you.

The Harms We Face — And the Rights That Protect Us
Our country was founded on the idea that power belongs to the people. But across America, that power has been taken from us — through corporate greed, government inaction, and constitutional betrayal. Below are the major categories of harm we are documenting — and the rights we still hold that allow us to fight back.
1. Federal Overreach & Violation of State Sovereignty
The federal government was created by the states — not to rule them, but to coordinate limited functions. Today, it imposes mandates, taxes, and forced corporate relationships (like for-profit insurance) that violate the 10th Amendment.
2. Private Equity Takeover of Essential Systems
From healthcare to housing, food to prisons — private equity firms have acquired essential infrastructure, driving prices up and compassion down. This is economic violence backed by policy silence.
3. Systemic Poverty, Wage Suppression, and Over-Taxation
We are taxed, tolled, and fined into poverty — while billionaires and corporations pay less than their share. This violates the Equal Protection Clause when the burden is unequally distributed by law.
4. Health and Housing Mandates That Serve Corporations
When the government forces you to buy from a for-profit company (like health or car insurance), that is not freedom — it is economic coercion. If we are required to comply, the option must be nonprofit.
5. Civil Rights Violations Across States
Homelessness is criminalized. Protesters are suppressed. People of color are policed differently. These are violations of the 1st, 4th, 8th, and 14th Amendments — and we have the right to challenge them under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
6. Censorship, Digital Manipulation, and Media Consolidation
Media and tech giants shape what we see and believe. This affects elections, health decisions, and unity. The First Amendment protects our right to challenge narrative monopolies that suppress truth.
What We Can Do Together
When our rights are violated as a class of people — not just as individuals — we can file a mass tort. This is not just about compensation. It's about forcing change:
- Demanding the government provide nonprofit alternatives to corporate mandates
- Exposing unconstitutional taxation and financial coercion
- Restoring state and personal sovereignty through legal pressure
- Holding corporate actors accountable in civil court for systemic harm
- Creating a public record of injustice that cannot be denied
This is how we fight — not just for ourselves, but for future generations.
