America's Working Majority

If you earn $120,000 or less, this is your movement.

More than 100 million working Americans build the homes, teach the kids, drive the trucks, staff the hospitals, and keep this country running — yet too many feel the country stopped listening. We're organizing the majority. Informed. Engaged. Empowered.

Who we are

The working majority

About 9 in 10 American wage earners make under $120,000 a year (SSA, 2023). Nurses and roofers, teachers and truckers, servers and soldiers. Not a fringe. The country itself.

Why we exist

To be heard again

Prices rose about 21% from 2020 to 2024 (BLS) while paychecks chased them. Policy gets written about working people, rarely with them. We exist to change who's at the table.

How you help

Five verbs

Join. Volunteer. Donate. Share. Vote. Membership is free forever. The movement is member-owned — one member, one vote, leaders elected by you.

The numbers don't whisper

The majority is not a slogan. It's arithmetic.

The backbone of the country

You've been keeping America running. Who's been representing you?

They build our homes and teach our children. They protect our communities, drive our freight, serve in our military, and care for our families. And every year the math at their kitchen tables gets harder: the rent, the premium, the tuition, the groceries.

120K or Less was created on a simple conviction: the people who do the work deserve a seat at the table where the rules get written. Not a party. Not a faction. A membership — owned by its members, accountable to its members, and too big to ignore.

Our platform

What the working majority is asking for

Nine advocacy positions, written in plain English, with sources attached. Members will vote on every one of them.

A family reviewing their budget at a warm kitchen table

Federal income tax relief

No federal income tax on earnings of $120,000 or less — with Social Security and Medicare payroll funding fully preserved.

Healthcare that can't bankrupt you

The average family premium hit $25,572 a year (KFF, 2024). We back coverage that's affordable — or free at the point of service.

Graduates crossing a sunlit public university lawn

Free four-year public college

A degree from a public university shouldn't cost a decade of debt. Tuition-free public college, and the trades treated as equals.

Our position →

Housing a paycheck can reach

The median home now sells for about $407,000 (NAR, 2024) — five times the median household's income. That math has to change.

Retirement you can count on

68 million Americans rely on Social Security (SSA, 2024). Protect it, strengthen it, never privatize it.

Our position →

An economy that pays for work

Better-paying jobs, a lower cost of living, thriving small businesses, and training that leads somewhere.

The one lever they can't take

Vote is Power.

Money talks in Washington — but ballots decide it. There are more of us than any donor class, any lobby, any interest. When the working majority votes its own interest, it doesn't ask for a seat at the table. It sets the table.

We're nonpartisan and we mean it: we will never tell you who to vote for. Our job is to make sure you know what's on the ballot, what it costs you, and that your registration is ready when the day comes.

Radical transparency

Watch us like we watch them

Every budget published. Every financial report public. Board minutes summarized, compensation disclosed, member counts real or not stated at all. We're structuring as a member-owned 501(c)(4) with a separate educational foundation — and the books stay open from day one.
