Collective Action Platform

Small commitments,
multiplied for
real change.

Unlike a petition — where you ask someone else to change — CritMass is about you committing to act. Your commitment only fires when enough people join, so you never act alone and you never act uselessly.

The campaigns live right now.

Each campaign is a real commitment — not a signature. You pledge to take a specific action alongside others. That pledge only fires when the threshold is met, creating coordinated pressure that actually moves targets. No spam. No passive asks.

Boycott

Boycott ChatGPT Unless OpenAI Discloses Its Pentagon Contract

Context

President Trump and the Department of Defense recently pressured Anthropic to sign a contract for Anthropic to refuse requests that DoD wouldn't consider appropriate. Anthropic refused, but OpenAI didn't. OpenAI's contract means they make decisions about who can use AI and for what, including what they decide about who to ban and why, without any conditions. We need OpenAI to disclose the conditions.

If this campaign activates, you commit to:

You will switch to an alternative LLM like Claude and cancel your ChatGPT Plus subscription if you have one. No need to do anything yet, we'll send instructions if the campaign hits its target.

Goal

CBS

Boycott Paramount+ and CBS

Context

President Trump paid $16 million to settle a lawsuit against CBS News — then the network made editorial changes to favor Trump, including pulling a completed 60 Minutes segment about Trump's deportation policy hours before air and re-"correcting" edits that had undercut Trump in a profile interview they did.

If this campaign activates, you commit to:

Boycott CBS, cancel your Paramount+ subscription if you have one. "Commitment count" is the activation threshold so we'll send instructions if the campaign hits its target.

Goal

Remove Bari Weiss as CBS News editor-in-chief, restore 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.

Boycott

Deactivate Facebook Unless Meta Restores Third-Party Fact-Checking

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 — it's temporary, reversible, like taking the day off. We'll send a direct link and a one-line message template to submit to Meta's feedback form. No need to do anything yet, we'll send instructions if the campaign hits its target.

Goal

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

General Strike

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

Context

The U.S. hasn't seen a 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.

A general strike is the most powerful tool ordinary people have. The problem has always been the same: nobody wants to be the only one who doesn't show up to work. That's exactly what CritMass is for. This campaign doesn't activate unless 5 million people are ready to act together.

If this campaign activates, you commit to:

Not work for one day. Don't shop. Don't stream. We'll send a full briefing on how to protect yourself from your employer. One day. Five million people. Impossible to ignore.

Goal

Force sustained national media coverage that can't be dismissed, demonstrate that millions of Americans are willing to sacrifice a day's pay to defend democratic institutions, and create direct economic pressure on Congress to restore independent oversight of the executive branch.

Demand Transparency

Demand The Unredacted Epstein Files

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 accidentally releasing images and names of victims. As Representative Thomas Massie has noted, the refusal to name names suggests a systemic effort to protect a broader network rather than provide justice.

If this campaign activates, you commit to:

Submit a standardized FOIA request to the FBI and DOJ demanding the full, unredacted Epstein investigative files. We'll provide the pre-written template and submission links. Then send one message to your congressional representatives demanding a full accounting.

Goal

Force sustained national media coverage that can't be dismissed. By coordinating millions of simultaneous requests, we will demonstrate that the American people will no longer tolerate the institutional protection of Epstein's associates.
