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

What happens after a people-powered campaign wins—when governing begins under the relentless pressure of big money, entrenched interests, and institutional constraints?
Join us for a timely discussion, “Governing in the Shadow of Big Money,” examining what the 2025 New York City mayoral race reveals about power, money, and democracy—and what it may signal for the future of progressive governance nationwide.
This discussion will dig beneath the headlines to explore how wealth and influence shape what’s possible once reformers take office.
This is a conversation for organizers, advocates, movement leaders, and anyone asking the hard but necessary question:
How do we govern for the people when big money never stops governing against them?
We hope you’ll join us for a thoughtful, candid exchange about power - how it’s exercised, how it’s resisted, and how we build democratic systems that can withstand it.
January 21, 2026: 7pm-8pm ET/ 6pm-8pm CT/ 5pm-7pm MT/ 4pm-6pm PT
You'll be sent a link after registering.
In times that feel heavy and uncertain, how do we keep showing up without burning out?
Democracy work is long, demanding, and deeply human. To change the system, we also have to care for the people doing the work.
Join Move to Amend’s 6-part series,
The Way Through: Building Resilient, Sustainable Activists —
a space to meet overwhelm, anger, and despair with compassion, and to transform them into grounded, collective action for real democracy.
Each session focuses on one section of the newest module from our Movement Education Program (MEP), offering tools to sustain ourselves — and our movements — for the long haul.
Because movements for democracy don’t just need strategy — they need resilient people.
As we reflect on 2025, one truth stands out clearly: this was not a normal year—and the challenges we face demand systemic solutions.
Across the country and around the world, people confronted deepening crises: unchecked corporate power, rising authoritarianism, accelerating climate devastation, economic precarity, and political systems increasingly unresponsive to the will of the people.
Today, we are happy to share our 2025 Annual Report: Building Power for a Real Democracy—the story of what you helped build
As the year came to a close, Move to Amend Miami County, Ohio offered a powerful reminder of what sustained, relational organizing looks like.

Move to Amend does not take positions on foreign leaders or political parties. We are not defending Nicolás Maduro, nor are we endorsing any administration’s foreign policy agenda. What concerns us is something deeper and more enduring: the structural role of corporate power and money in shaping U.S. foreign policy decisions — including military interventions. |
Before we rush into the intensity of 2026, I want to take a moment with you — a breath, a look back, a recognition.
The story of 2025 is not only one of crisis— it is also the story of a people who refused to back down. It’s the story of communities who organized, educated, marched, petitioned, built networks of solidarity, demanded constitutional change, and expanded a movement rooted in justice and real democracy

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.
