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

Living a meaningful life for many includes personal development and contributing to the improvement of the lives of others and preservation of the natural world.
The current external environmental, economic, political and social crises present greater challenges for concerned activists of any degree to achieve positive change, which can lead to anger, grief, despair, burnout and other feelings and conditions – especially for those who haven't sufficiently reflected on their inner values and capacities.
This includes Move to Amend leadership. Others are aware of current realities but not actively involved due to feeling isolated, insecure, overwhelmed and discouraged that meaningful external change is achievable, which is reinforced by society that tells us we are incapable of improving external conditions.
Repressing anger, grief, and despair and accepting burnout, however, is not an option. Only by overcoming them can we achieve liberation.
Thank you for expressing interest in volunteering with Move to Amend, where you can make a real a difference.
We are excited to welcome you on this journey to create justice, peace and a livable world.
Register below for the 12 pm PT / 3 pm, then we'll send you a link to the call!
We are excited to invite you join the fight against the scariest monster of all - corporate personhood and influence over our democracy.
Please mark your calendar for Monday, November 18 and join us at one of two scheduled virtual programs to hear more about the many upcoming opportunities to get involved and volunteer with Move to Amend. Both times will cover the same material and provide opportunities to answer questions.
The programs will be at 12pm PT / 3pm ET and 5:30 pm ET / 8:30pm ET
We need YOU to help clean out the skeletons in Congress's closet!
Healthcare is one the main concerns of voters in the 2024 elections. Fifty-nine percent of the public think it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage,
The U.S. health system is dead last among high income countries when it comes to “affordability, administrative efficiency, equity, and healthcare outcomes.” Every other “developed” country on the planet provides health coverage for all its citizens. The U.S. has the world’s highest healthcare spending per capita, one of the results of nearly two-thirds of the population being covered by private/corporate insurance.
As early elections begin across many states, the time to act is now!

Currently, we have 87 cosponsors on board (87 + lead sponsor)—let’s rally together to reach our goal!

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.
