Countervailing Power is a movement of the people, by the people. We are a non-profit organization, and do not seek to become billionaires.

Our main goal is to bring together every working class American in order to pool our individual voices into one with enough power to affect real change.
Right now in America ICE roves the streets kidnapping anyone they wish, American citizen or not. They take our people hostage, often holding them for days or weeks with no due process, no chance to contact anyone, separated from their families, and forced into horrific living conditions, where they are often subject to various types of torture, denied medical evaluations, and sometimes even food.

Meanwhile, the dumpy Cheeto chief is likely using our tax money to build himself a $400 million ball room, breaking his oath to office daily, deploying the army against American citizens to quell the unrest he's creating. He is planning to overthrow the US government for a second time, while he is single handedly creating the worst economic downturn in American history through his lack of understanding of tariffs, which is causing the price of everything to skyrocket.

Even though Dumpy Cheeto Chief is causing the collapse of democracy, destroying our government in hopes he'll be able to become King Dumpy Cheeto Chief, he is not the reason we exist. He is the end result of what happens to a country when capitalism is tossed aside and something akin to corporate welfare is enacted instead.

Corporations are making more money every year, but we see almost none of the value in return. The American GDP is still a strong #1 in the world, which means our production is increasing every year, but we are seeing none of the gains. Corporations collect welfare from the tax payers even when they fail. This is not capitalism. It's capitalism for the working class, but it's social welfare for the richest companies in the world.

These corporations use their increased revenue to further tilt the rules of the game in their favor. In the last 50 years corporations pay fewer taxes, collect more government subsidies, kickbacks, bailouts, and handouts of the American worker's money, while at the same time treat workers' lives as just another expense. Everything from the environment to the health of the American people, the well being of our families and the future of our children, and even whether we live or die, is inconsequential compared to the return on investment for the shareholders and their ability to make more and more money every year.

Any complaint from the working class is met with the same old excuses; We live in a capitalist society, and we either rise to the top or fall to the bottom based entirely on our own personal contributions to society. Any honest person can tell you, that's just not reality.

Corporations and billionaire elites have rigged the game in their favor. Currently, who is standing up for the individual family? Who is looking out for you, me, and every average American who isn't the CEO of a worldwide corporation?

No one is.

It is why in 2025, as an American, you are living in the richest country in the history of the world, but where the top 1% of the richest people have more wealth than the bottom 70%. That's about 1.3 million people in the top 1% compared to around 291 million people on the bottom.

In a system where corporations are allowed to contribute an unlimited amount of money to a political candidate, and that candidate does not have to disclose who gave them the money, when using PACs and Super PACs, how can a person compete with that? During the last election, Dumpy Cheeto Chief collected more than $400 million in political donations.

We are lucky if we can give anything at all. Who do you think that candidate is going to serve more? This is where Countervailing Power comes in. We use the one thing money can't buy, the power of the people. By joining together to affect change, we can begin to sidestep the govt. We can become our own powerful movement.

We are free to join, you can connect with other people in your area and around the country to take on any number of political, and socially important projects. To see some of the ways we are planning to start making changes, visit our blog.

If you are tired of feeling like you are powerless to make any changes, but you know this government, this economy, and this country must change or fall into the hands of Trump, or someone else like him. The white nationalist movement isn't going to just go away. They have plans, and no one is coming to save us. We must become the Power that pushes back. We must become the Countervailing Power to bring balance back to the country.
