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
The Constitution has been amended 27 times, so clearly it is not allergic to change.
Join fellow Move to Amend grassroots leaders for a lively working session to develop Constitution Day 2026 events, programming, tools, and resources. Together, we will continue to turn Constitution Day into more than a ceremonial reading of a 239-year-old document - and use it as an opportunity to educate, organize, and build momentum for a democracy that belongs to people, not corporations.
Bring your experience, imagination and local perspective. Revolutionary ideas welcome!
Please come ready with one idea, one question, or one resource you think could help make Constitution Day 2026 bold, accessible, educational, and impossible to ignore.
Together, we can help people understand that the Constitution is not a museum piece - it is a living framework, and democracy is a group project.
Join us at 6pm PT/ 7pm MT/ 8pm CT/ 9pm ET

The Trump regime is paying German energy giant RWE $1.22 billion not to build offshore wind farms. It is the fifth such deal this year, pushing the public cost of dismantling clean-power projects toward $4 billion. This is not an isolated decision. The administration has attacked pollution limits for power plants, sought exemptions allowing industrial facilities to release more toxic chemicals, weakened methane controls, and moved to erase the scientific foundation for regulating greenhouse gases. Trump officials proudly call this the largest deregulatory campaign in American history. |
August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment, clearing the final constitutional hurdle needed to prohibit denying citizens the vote on the basis of sex.

It was not a gift from Congress, the courts, or the political establishment. Women organized for generations to force the nation to recognize a fundamental democratic truth: a government cannot claim to represent people it excludes from political power. The struggle took more than 70 years after the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, known as the launch for Women's Suffrage Movement. Suffragists marched, organized, published newspapers, delivered speeches, petitioned lawmakers, endured arrests, and faced violence and public ridicule. They challenged laws, cultural norms and institutions that treated women as dependents rather than full political participants. Their victory also demonstrated something powerful: the Constitution is not untouchable. When it protects an unjust system- or fails to protect the people- organized movements can change it. |
Congress is still home — but not for much longer.
August Recess is underway, and this may be one of your last opportunities to catch your Representative and Senators while they are back home before Congress returns to Washington.
Corporate power is consuming our democracy and corrupting our constitutional republic. This is the movement working to build what comes next.
The world is running out of time.
The strength of Move to Amend has always been our people. Across the country, affiliates and advocates are building relationships with elected officials, educating their communities, recruiting new supporters, and growing the movement for the We the People Amendment.
This month, we're celebrating just a few of the many people making a difference.

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.
