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

Become a Move to Amend Volunteer!
Every day, corporate influence tightens its grip—drowning out the voices of everyday people and shaping policies that put profits over our communities, our environment, and our future. From poisoned water to skyrocketing healthcare costs, from environmental devastation to economic inequality, the consequences are clear: corporate power is undermining our democracy.
The We the People Amendment (H.J.Res 54) is the solution.

We invite you to a powerful and eye-opening evening as we gather to watch:
American Oligarchy: Five Fights with Fascists and Tyrants
✨ Special Feature:
We’re honored to be joined by producer Patrick McKercher, who will offer commentary and insights on the film, its making, and why this moment in history makes its message more urgent than ever.
✨ What to Expect:
Everywhere we look, the corporate billionaire class is tightening its grip — on our economy, on our politics, and even on our imaginations. Prices soar while wages stagnate. Corporations dodge taxes while our communities fight for schools, housing, and healthcare.
And through it all, the same few voices call the shots - because the system was built for them.
That’s why this May 1, 2026, Move to Amend is joining people across the country in the Workers Over Billionaires day of action organized by May Day Strong. Together with hundreds of labor unions, community groups, and national networks, we’re taking a stand for a simple but urgent truth: a democracy that serves the many cannot coexist with an economy rigged for the few.
Democracy Is on the Line - and So Are Our Lives
Every demand for democracy is also a struggle for economic justice. When corporations have constitutional rights and money is treated as speech, billionaires can buy political access and block the policies that working people need to survive, from living wages to housing to healthcare.
Corporate power isn’t an accident of capitalism; it’s a constitutional arrangement. The courts have granted “personhood” or "inalienable rights" to entities that were never alive, never voted, and never bled. Those same rights have been used to crush unions, poison communities, and silence dissent.
This May Day, we are taking those struggles for justice to the streets.
What if the systems shaping our lives aren’t broken—but working exactly as designed?
On April 22, we’re hosting a virtual movie night featuring the powerful documentary:
Across the country, Move to Amend affiliates and volunteers continue to do the kind of work that rarely makes headlines—but is essential to building a movement capable of lasting change. It’s happening in community meetings, at public hearings, in conversations with neighbors, and in the steady expansion of a coalition that understands the root of the problem.
Thank you again for being part of No Kings Day 3.
Across the country — in big cities and small towns alike — people stepped into the streets, into public squares, into community spaces… and into something bigger than themselves.
Strangers became allies.
Conversations turned into clarity.
And a shared feeling rippled through it all:
We are not alone — and we are not powerless.
Now the question is: how do we turn that moment into momentum?

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.
