Stop The AI Race — Protest on July 11

​Bring a sign. Bring a friend.

​AI Company CEOs are taking our jobs, they’re possibly taking our freedom, and if this continues we might all die.

​So on July 11 we're marching on the top AI companies in San Francisco with one demand: every CEO must publicly commit to pausing frontier AI development if every other lab does the same.

​At Davos, Demis Hassabis said he'd be open to a conditional pause, which was the ask of our Google DeepMind hunger strike in September 2025. But in February, Anthropic dropped its own commitment to pause if its AI became too dangerous. So on March 21, 200 of us marched on Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI.

​After our protest, and multiple follow-ups, Sam Altman wrote he expects that OpenAI may need to coordinate with governments and other labs before proceeding. And on June 4, Anthropic wrote it expects it "would slow down or temporarily pause" if other frontier labs verifiably did too.

​These are first steps, but 'expects' isn't a commitment. We actually need AI CEOs to say they would pause if everyone else pauses, and the concrete verification regime they'd need.

​So on July 11, we'll be marching from OpenAI to Anthropic and Google to ask Sam Altman, Dario Amodei and Demis Hassabis to make a public statement: can you commit to pause if every other major AI company in the world pauses? And if so, what verification regime would you need?
