From D.C. Streets to Local Power-Building

Even in a year of furloughs, political chaos, and constant “polycrisis” headlines, our affiliates and advocates have kept the We the People Amendment moving forward — in Congress, in city halls, and out in the streets. This month’s spotlight ties together a powerful moment in Washington, D.C. with the steady, gritty work happening across the country.

It is Celebration Time! 

15th Anniversary of the Monahan Walk Across the US

October was a month of grit, creativity, and people-powered progress across the Move to Amend network. From the Midwest to the Deep South, our affiliates and advocates are proving once again that when the message is clear and the mission is just, people are eager to join the fight to end corporate rule.

🏛️ Congressional update:

{{recipient.first_name_or_friend}}, another government shutdown is upon us. Once again, working families are forced to go without paychecks, small businesses lose customers, and communities lose vital services. Meanwhile, corporate interests continue to collect their subsidies, tax breaks, and special access.

This dysfunction isn’t an accident—it’s a strategy. Manufactured crises are used to justify privatization of public goods, funneling our tax dollars into corporate profits while leaving us with higher costs and fewer services. It’s corporate rule at work.

That’s why we need the We the People Amendment (H.J.R. 54) —to end corporate power and put human needs first.

Even in the middle of this chaos, our movement is gaining traction!

This month we’re thrilled to shine a light on two inspiring Affiliates who are carrying the Move to Amend mission forward in their communities.

Your voice matters more than ever! Rejoin the movement!

This Labor Day, our affiliates and advocates showed once again that grassroots power moves mountains!

This Labor Day, we invite you to step into the long tradition of courage, solidarity, and struggle that has shaped our workplaces, our communities, and our aspiring democracy.

Join organizers from Strike for Your Rights and the MTA Labor Caucus as we connect the victories of the past to the challenges of today — and prepare for bold action ahead.

The August recess is upon us, and this is a critical time to push for the We the People Amendment (House Joint Resolution 54)! 

As Congress heads back to their districts, your Representatives will be more accessible than ever—and it's the perfect opportunity for YOU to ask them to co-sponsor the amendment. Whether you're a seasoned advocate or just starting out, this is your moment to take action. Learn how!

On July 27, Move to Amend is proud to cosponsor the March for Integrity rally in Washington, D.C., alongside a coalition of organizations committed to ending the corrupt influence of money in politics.

This is a crucial moment for all of us who believe that real democracy can only be achieved when corporations no longer hold constitutional rights, and when our elected officials are accountable to us—the people.

Medicaid Cuts are HERE as Part of Project 2025!

The worst-case scenario is unfolding before our eyes: The “One Big Baneful Bill Act,” which includes historic cuts to Medicaid as a core component of Project 2025, has just passed Congress and been signed into law on July 4, 2025. This is not a future threat; it is our current reality.

If you plan to attend formal “Independence Day” and/or family events tomorrow or this weekend, please consider this super easy, quick and effective action that helps our movement grow: copy, cut and distribute our Declare Independence from Corporate Rule ¼ page flier. 

This We The People Wednesday, we are celebrating a historic victory - and issuing a call to action.

Last night, in a major upset, Zohran Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo and the political establishment in the NYC mayoral race - a powerful example of what’s possible when grassroots movements organize, mobilize, and fight for bold, popular demands. This was a win for the people, by the people, and it sends a clear message: we don’t have to accept billionaire rule and corporate dominance as inevitable.

But we must keep going.

“Independence Day” is coming up soon. July 4 is a Friday. There will be many public events that day and weekend: parades, fireworks, festivals, block parties, picnics, etc.

What better time to follow up “No Kings Day” protests where we called for No Kings, No Corporations: Rejecting Authoritarian and Corporate Rule with actions to Declare Independence from Corporate Rule. 

The wait is almost over—tonight’s Corporate Coup Report drops at 4pm ET / 5pm MT / 6pm CT / 7pm ET and you won’t want to miss it!
