How It Works

Three steps.
One outcome.

Every campaign is built around a specific, realistic goal. CritMass is not a petition site where you ask others to act on your behalf. CritMass is about pledging to act yourself, in coordination with others.

Boycott ChatGPT Unless OpenAI Discloses Its Pentagon Contract

Show Context

President Trump recently pressured Anthropic to sign a contract, but Anthropic refused because the Department of Defense wouldn't rule out domestic mass surveillance or lethal decisions without human involvement. OpenAI, whose President is one of Trump's biggest donors, signed the contract shortly after.

If this campaign activates, you commit to:

Switch to an alternative LLM and cancel your ChatGPT Plus subscription if you have one. No need to do anything yet — we'll text you instructions when the campaign reaches critical mass.

Goal

Get OpenAI to disclose its Pentagon contract or have the contract's red lines and safety measures audited by an independent third-party.

Accountability

Demand The Unredacted Epstein Files

Show Context

Despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act that was signed on Nov 19, 2025, the FBI and DOJ have continued to redact and protect the identities of powerful perpetrators and co-conspirators, while releasing images and names of victims.

If this campaign activates, you commit to:

Submit a standardized Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the FBI and DOJ demanding the full, unredacted Epstein files and contact your Congressional reps to demand a full accounting. We'll provide pre-written templates. No need to do anything yet — we'll text you instructions when the campaign reaches critical mass.

Goal

Force sustained governmental pressure that can't be dismissed and demonstrate that the American people will not tolerate the institutional protection of Epstein's associates.

1-Day General Strike, when 5 Million Americans Are Ready

Show Context

The U.S. hasn't seen a large general strike in nearly a century. But the conditions that historically produce them are back: unchecked executive power, corporate alignment with authoritarian politics, and the erosion of legal protections that most Americans assumed were permanent.

If this campaign activates, you commit to:

Not work or shop for one day. Five million people. Impossible to ignore. No need to do anything yet — we'll text you instructions when the campaign reaches critical mass.

Goal

Demand Congress pass legislation to fight corruption, establishing a publicly funded federal election system and overturning Citizens United — ending the era of unlimited dark money that lets billionaires and corporations buy political outcomes.

Environment

Demand Congress Restore EPA Funding and Environmental Enforcement

Show Context

Since January 2025, DOGE-directed cuts have eliminated thousands of EPA scientists and enforcement staff, shuttered regional offices, and halted enforcement of major clean air and water rules. Monitoring of toxic sites, industrial pollution, and drinking water contamination has been severely degraded. Congress controls the EPA's budget — and has not acted.

If this campaign activates, you commit to:

Send a pre-written message to your congressional representatives demanding they vote to restore EPA funding and reinstate terminated staff. We'll provide the template and contact info. No need to do anything yet — we'll text you instructions when the campaign reaches critical mass.

Goal

Force a congressional vote to restore EPA's budget to pre-2025 levels and reinstate the agency's enforcement and scientific staff.

Media

Boycott Paramount+ and CBS

Show Context

Paramount paid President Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit against CBS News and quickly started making editorial changes to favor Trump. This includes pulling a completed 60 Minutes segment about Trump's deportation policy hours before it was set to air for political reasons.

If this campaign activates, you commit to:

Boycott CBS, cancel your Paramount+ subscription if you have one. No need to do anything yet — we'll text you instructions when the campaign reaches critical mass.

Goal

Remove Bari Weiss as CBS News editor-in-chief, propose public guidelines for ensuring full editorial independence at CBS News, disclose all communications with the Trump White House since the $16 million settlement, and commit in writing that CNN will operate under the same editorial independence standards if the Warner Bros. acquisition is completed.

Deactivate Facebook Unless Meta Restores Third-Party Fact-Checking

Show Context

In January 2025, Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook would dismantle its third-party fact-checking program and replace it with an unmoderated "Community Notes" system. The announcement came weeks after Meta donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund.

If this campaign activates, you commit to:

Deactivate your Facebook account — (don't worry, deactivation is reversible). We'll send a link and a template to submit to Meta's feedback form when the time comes. No need to do anything yet — we'll text you instructions when the campaign reaches critical mass.

Goal

Get Meta to restore third-party fact-checking on Facebook

About CritMass

Most people want to act.
Nobody wants to act alone.

So many people are angry and worried about where the world is going and are looking for a way to make a difference. The problem isn’t a lack of motivation. It’s the math. One person canceling a subscription or contacting their representative, or striking barely moves the needle.

CritMass is built on a simple idea: conditional commitment. You pledge to act, but only if enough others pledge with you. When the threshold is crossed, everyone goes at once. You never act alone.

This isn’t a site that asks you for money or to sign a petition. Petitions ask someone else — a politician, a CEO — to take action on your behalf. CritMass is about people taking direct action, in coordination. No signatures forwarded to an inbox no one reads. No spam texts asking for political donations. The power comes from focused, coordinated action on a hand-picked small number of campaigns that are specific, winnable, and worthwhile.
