A new Congress has begun, and with it comes a renewed opportunity to challenge the dominance of corporate money in our political system. Rep. Pramila Jayapal has just reintroduced the We the People Amendment and issued a new Dear Colleague letter calling on members of Congress to join as cosponsors.

The We the People Amendment directly takes aim at the disastrous Citizens United ruling and the flood of corporate cash that continues to drown out the voices of everyday people in our elections. Since Citizens United, we’ve seen a 600% increase in independent spending, reaching a staggering $14 billion in the 2020 election cycle alone. This influx of money has fueled widespread public disillusionment, with Americans across the political spectrum agreeing that our government is bought and paid for by the highest bidder.

But we can fight back.

We’ve launched a One Click Politics campaign to make it easy for you to urge your Representative to sign on as a cosponsor. Click the button below to send a message directly to your Rep’s office, including Rep. Jayapal’s letter for their staff to review.

The letter lays out why this amendment is critical for stopping the unchecked flow of corporate money into our elections and restoring public trust in our political system.

The We the People Amendment is our best shot at ending corporate rule and restoring power to actual people—not corporations. But Congress won’t act unless we force them to. Your voice matters.

Let’s make sure every member of Congress hears us loud and clear: It’s time to reverse Citizens United and put people before profits.

P.S. 

Once you’ve taken action, please share this campaign with your friends and networks. The more messages Congress receives, the harder it will be for them to ignore us.
