Activist Group Calls for Political Revolution
A far-left activist organization, linked to various protests including those against ICE and Antifa, is advocating for what it calls a “political revolution.” This push for sweeping changes in U.S. society is evident in training materials that have recently come to light.
The documents from a March 2026 Sunrise Movement meeting articulate a vision for “structurally changing the foundations of this country,” promoting ideas such as “environmental socialism” and “multiracial democracy.” The group’s internal presentations reveal ambitious objectives, such as passing the Green New Deal and dismantling the “billionaire two-party system.”
In a section labeled “Road to Revolution,” the group outlines top goals, including attempts to prevent President Trump from assuming power, promoting non-cooperation during protests, and leveraging the 2026 midterm elections to make significant electoral gains.
Furthermore, a detailed report highlights how an Antifa-affiliated organization was distributing materials titled “Political Revolution” to students from kindergarten through high school.
Plans are laid out for subsequent phases, with Phase 2 taking place in 2028 focusing on mass strikes and significant electoral support, while Phase 3, labeled “Political Revolution,” spans from 2029 to 2031. Then there’s Phase 4 starting in 2032, intriguingly titled “A New System,” with a light-hearted promise of “Happiness (Maybe).”
The documents specify targeted actions against various companies, particularly hotel chains like Hilton, suggesting tactics including reservations and cancellations. Students are encouraged to press their educational institutions to sever ties with businesses considered “ICE enablers.”
This strategy seems to connect campus activities with broader national goals, motivating students to use university vendor agreements to instigate boycotts and significant disruptions.
The presentation also describes three potential political scenarios for the future. One warns of a “Full Dictatorship,” assuming Trump’s actions lead to military intervention against dissent. Another describes a “see-saw democracy,” where Democrats might win elections but struggle with governance, leading to a public shift towards authoritarianism.
The last scenario envisions a widespread push for non-cooperation and high electoral turnout to remove Trump and his supporters, accompanied by popular support for overturning the existing political framework.
Lyen Staley, research director at Defending Education, expressed concerns regarding this systematic approach to exert economic and social pressure on universities. “Our nation’s academic institutions should be places for education and debate, not platforms for achieving radical change,” Staley commented.
In a more recent development, the Sunrise Movement’s connections to the far-left have also raised alarms among congressional leaders, especially regarding its association with Antifa, which has been labeled a terrorist organization by the previous administration.
Further fueling the movement’s urgency is a call for a nationwide strike on May 1, coinciding with the traditional May Day observance historically significant for socialist movements.
At a rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, Ezra Levin, a co-founder of Indivisible, emphasized the need for economic action, drawing parallels with previous protests. “On May Day, we say ‘no business as usual,'” he urged attendees, calling for solidarity over financial elites.
