The National Campaign to End Corporate Personhood and Demand Real Democracy!
Move to Amend

About | Donate | Take Action

Dear Daniel, 

With the President's Day holiday comes the inevitable President's Day sales. Everything appears to be on sale these days — including our democracy. 

But we've been sold a bill of goods — our democracy can't work if corporations and wealthy individuals can buy our elections, dictate our public policy, and overturn our laws. 

It doesn't have to be this way.

Last week, Rep. Rick Nolan (MN) introduced Move to Amend's "We the People Amendment" in Congress - House Joint Resolution 29. At long last, both core doctrines undermining our democracy will be considered as one amendment! 

The "We the People Amendment" has little chance of passage until we finish building the movement that will force Congress to act. Only an organized and engaged public can counter the effects of "corporate constitutional rights" and "money is speech."

Move to Amend's strategy is to build a grassroots movement to force Washington DC to obey the will of the people — not big money. We need millions of people involved in this movement, including you! 

If you're not already actively volunteering with Move to Amend, please sign up to get involved here (and if you already are -- thank you!!)

Find out if there is a local Move to Amend Affiliate Group in your area by checking the map here: http://movetoamend.org/map/groups.

If there is, we will connect you with the local group already active in your community. If not, we can connect you with other Move to Amend supporters in your area and you can work together to start a Move to Amend Affiliate Group in your town.    

Except for two staff members and our interns, from individual members and affiliates, to the national leadership team, we are an all-volunteer organization. We need you!

Please sign up to get involved today. You can let us know what you're most interested in doing, and what skills and experience you can bring to the table. We can't wait to work with you! 

Yours for a real democracy that's not for sale,

Ashley Sanders, Ben Manski, Daniel Lee, David Cobb, Egberto Willies, George Friday, Jerome Scott, Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, Laura Bonham, Nancy Price

Move to Amend National Leadership Team


PS -- If you cannot volunteer (or even if you can!) please make a donation to support Move to Amend. You can be confident that every dollar is stretched as far as it will go to pass an amendment to undo corporate personhood and money as speech.

We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
