    Introducing the Transparent Election Initiative (Roundtable Discussion)

    When: May 13, 2026, at 7pm ET/ 6pm CT/ 5pm MT/ 4pmPT

    RSVP Below

    Join the Move to Amend and the Transparent Election Initiative (TEI) team for a dynamic round table discussion introducing the Corporate Power Reset Initiative AKA Transparent Election Initiative, AKA The Montana Plan: Whatever you call it, it is a bold, state-based strategy to end the influence of corporate and dark money in our political system.

    For over a decade, Move to Amend has pursued a constitutional amendment to make clear that corporations are not people and money is not speech—because only an amendment can permanently restore democratic rule to We the People.

    At the same time, we’ve always recognized the value of strategic steppingstones—reforms that open space for deeper democratic transformation while keeping corporate power in check. The Montana Plan represents just such an opportunity.

    This initiative harnesses the unique power of each state to define corporate privileges, offering a pathway to campaign finance reform that doesn’t silence speech but instead denies corporations the political spending powers they were never meant to have.

    Let’s talk about how you can bring The Montana Plan to your community:

    • Rein in corporate influence over elections
    • Empower voters over big money
    • Build momentum toward constitutional Amendment


    Format: Roundtable with TEI community partners and Move to Amend organizers followed by an Interactive Q&A 

    Together, we can create elections that serve people—not corporate profits.

    Move the 119th Congress to Amend Campaign

    Our campaign goal is to secure 100 co-sponsorships for the #WeThePeopleAmendment before the end of 2026.

    To achieve this goal, we suggest starting with the closest Representative to you and recruiting constituents in that District to hold a meeting with their target Representative (or their legislative staff). Sign up below to get started! 

    Read the Dear Colleague Letter from Rep. Jayapal, Lead Sponsor for The We the People Amendment here.

    Also, check out the Press Release: Jayapal Introduces Constitutional Amendment to Reverse Citizens.

    If you do not know who your representative is, go to: Find Your Representative | house.gov 

    Here's what you'll need to do:

    1. Choose which Representative you're focusing on (see below for the target list, or if your Rep isn't on the campaign target list you can elect to lobby them instead)
    2. Recruit 3-5 constituents to join you for the meeting.
    3. Schedule the meeting (a Move to Amend national organizer will join you for this meeting)
    4. Organize a prep call to prepare.
    5. Hold the meeting and ask your Representative to co-sponsor. 
    6. Follow up
    7. If they don't sign on, time to escalate your tactics! We will help you plan an appropriate action from bombarding their office with phone calls, to organizing a letter-writing campaign, to dropping at their local office or (if they have one) business with Move to Amend petitions! We will work together to decide on any appropriate escalation. 

    We have provided you with all the tools and resources needed as well as organizing support. You will find the easy step-by-step instructions linked at the bottom of the page.  Expect that this effort will take 2-5 hours a week. 

    Sign up below, then get started!

    We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling 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.
