We lobbied at the DNC. You can lobby from home.
As Congress continues its break through the Labor Day week, the opportunity continues to make your voice heard where it counts—right in your own district!
Recently, several Move to Amend board members and co-directors lobbied Congresspersons at the Democratic National Convention to co-sponsor H.J.R. 54, the We the People Amendment.
It wasn’t easy. We had to find out what hotels state delegations were staying in all over Chicago, then get past security to enter the hotels, then instantaneously match their professional photographs to their current appearance (which sometimes was very different!) and, finally, while dodging their aide make a quick pitch directly to the Congressperson as they were heading to breakfast or a meeting, talking with others or having their pictures taken.

Wow, what a powerful start to our week at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago! As we close out Day 1, we want to share the exciting highlights and invite you to join us for the remaining days of action and advocacy.
Our presence was unmistakable today. Move to Amend members turned heads and sparked conversations with dramatic visual statements by wearing robes adorned with corporate logos, symbolizing the ultra-corporate-friendly Supreme Court. Furthermore, one of our co-directors also portrayed a character from The Handmaid’s Tale, highlighting the ongoing attacks on women’s rights.

INVEST a few dollars toward legalizing democracy and a Constitution that only belongs to We The People, not the corporations!
Will you join me in recruiting our Congress member to co-sponsor the #WeThePeople Amendment?
I'LL JOIN YOUWhy I support Move to Amend
Hi friends!
What's the number one issue you care about? It can be anything -- ie voter rights, BLM, climate change, abolishing ICE, etc. If you look close enough, you will see corporate personhood fingerprints and traces of dark money all over it. The great corporatization of Congress...it's not a Conspiracy, its our sad reality. Our Representatives no longer represents We the People, they only represent their Corporate Donors' best interest.
And while there are many great orgs and movements out there addressing corruption and the many other subsequent issues we are facing, only Move to Amend is addressing the two root issues: Money in Politics AND the absurdity of Corporate Personhood Rights.
This will require a LOT of public education, political engagement, and persistence -- especially when there's a lot of private interests that will try to stop us using their deep pockets -- but it CAN be done if we all play our part: volunteer, spread the word, and INVEST a few dollars toward legalizing democracy and a Constitution that only belongs to We The People, not the corporations!
Will you help me raise money to get the undue influence of big money and corporate interests out of our government by setting up a monthly donation to Move to Amend on this page?
