    Give the Gift of Justice!

    As the season of giving approaches, we're reminded of the importance of making choices that reflect our values—and the world we want to create. This Black Friday, instead of contributing to the frenzy of consumption, we invite you to make a meaningful impact with your purchases by supporting Move to Amend’s mission.

    When you buy from our store, you're not just getting a T-shirt, hoodie, or book. You're investing in a movement—one that seeks to dismantle corporate rule and restore power to the people. From organizing materials to literature, every item you buy helps fund the grassroots work we do to advance the We the People Amendment (H.J.R. 54) and fight against the unchecked power of corporations in our lives.

  • This is the Moment to Act: Urge Congress to pass the #WeThePeopleAmendment!

    We know that the election results have left many of us processing a whirlwind of emotions. 

    A second Trump administration brings new challenges, but we at Move to Amend have a reminder for you: we were built for this moment.

    Move to Amend began with a vision, well ahead of the January 21, 2010, Citizens United v. FEC decision. Knowing the consequences of such a ruling, we gathered as a community to prepare and to proactively chart a path toward a future free from corporate rule. We believed then—and still do—that together we could create change that would outlast any decision, any election, or any setback.

    Now, with the 118th Congressional Session still in progress, there remains crucial work to do. We must continue pushing for the We the People Amendment, H.J.R. 54, and reclaim our government from corporate control. Together, we can still put pressure on Congress, laying the groundwork for a fair and just future—one that no single election can erase.

    And, if you need a space to collectively process emotions, join Our Post-Election Conversation this Friday, November 15 at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT.

  • Our Boxed in Elections and Elected Officials

    If you already voted or will tomorrow, you know that elections involve boxes. It may be the box where you drop your ballot outside a Board of Elections headquarters. It might be the 3-sided box stand where you place your ballot to vote in private. Or it could be the secure receptacle where your completed ballot is transported from your voting location to the country Board of Elections for tabulation.

    But there’s still another box that involves elections, actually more like the winners of elections. That’s the ever diminishing space elected officials face on all sides to govern, especially if their goal is to genuinely serve the public interest and to ensure a livable natural world. 

    The U.S. Constitution boxes in the actions of public officials and, for that matter, all of us. It delineates the extent of our democratic space, rights and responsibilities. Its size has expanded when many Constitutional Amendments like abolishing slavery and the poll tax and granting women the right to vote were passed following broad peoples’ movements. The box has also been enlarged following Constitutional interpretations by the Supreme Court.

    But other Supreme Court interpretations have vastly decreased our democratic space – the box that was never was very large to begin with since We the People have never included all the people.

    Many of those interpretations involved Supreme Court rulings affirming the power and rights of corporations over the power and rights of citizens and workers. Following each Supreme Court decision, our democratic space contracted. The democratic box became smaller.
