On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are people; corporations are legal fictions.
We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United and other related cases, 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.
The Supreme Court is misguided in principle, and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule.
". . . corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their 'personhood' often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves members of “We the People” by whom and for whom our Constitution was established."
~Supreme Court Justice Stevens, January 2010
On June 14, we proved the impossible was possible. Together, millions of us flooded the streets and declared: America has no kings.
Now, Trump has doubled down. His authoritarian grabs grow bolder, his attacks on democracy more dangerous. That’s why we’re rising again.
👉 On Saturday, October 18, join thousands of people for No Kings Day 2.0 in communities across the country.
This is our moment to lift up the We the People Amendment and show the world that the people—not billionaires, not corporations, not wannabe kings—hold the true power in America.
🔹 Check if there’s already an event near you and plug in.
🔹 If not, step up—register your own event, recruit friends, and co-host with allies.
🔹 Use resources and trainings at NoKings.org to make it strong.
Sign up today and let us know you’re in CLICK HERE!
Together, we’ll show the stakes of this crisis—and the resolve of the people to end corporate rule and legalize democracy.
Love and solidarity,

On June 14, we proved the impossible was possible. Together, millions of us flooded the streets and declared: America has no Kings. Now, Trump has doubled down. His authoritarian grabs grow bolder, his charges of the "enemy from within" are unhinged, and his deployment of National Guard troops and threats to send the U.S. military to multiple cities are more dangerous. That’s why we’re rising again. 👉 On Saturday, October 18, join thousands of people for No Kings Day 2.0 in communities across the country. |

{{recipient.first_name_or_friend}}, another government shutdown is upon us. Once again, working families are forced to go without paychecks, small businesses lose customers, and communities lose vital services. Meanwhile, corporate interests continue to collect their subsidies, tax breaks, and special access.
This dysfunction isn’t an accident—it’s a strategy. Manufactured crises are used to justify privatization of public goods, funneling our tax dollars into corporate profits while leaving us with higher costs and fewer services. It’s corporate rule at work.
That’s why we need the We the People Amendment (H.J.R. 54) —to end corporate power and put human needs first.
Even in the middle of this chaos, our movement is gaining traction!
This month we’re thrilled to shine a light on two inspiring Affiliates who are carrying the Move to Amend mission forward in their communities.

The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s in the South was a continuation of the earlier Abolitionist Movement. Its major achievements were the enactment of the post-Civil War 13th, 14th, and 15th “Reconstruction Amendments” to the U.S. Constitution which abolished slavery, established equal protection and due process under the law, and guaranteed voting rights for Black men.

Move to Amend is a coalition of hundreds of organizations and hundreds of thousands of individuals committed to social and economic justice, ending corporate rule, and building a vibrant democracy that is genuinely accountable to the people, not corporate interests. We call for an amendment to the US Constitution to unequivocally state that inalienable rights belong to human beings only, and that money is not a form of protected free speech under the First Amendment and can be regulated in political campaigns.
