Corporate dark money is drowning out the voices of everyday people. The Transparent Election Initiative (AKA the Montana Plan) is a citizen‑driven push to stop it.
By rewriting corporate charters and stripping corporations of the state‑granted power to spend in our elections, this measure cuts off corporate political spending at the source. Without that power, corporations can’t hide behind the Citizens United decision to buy influence.

It’s easy to think that the fight to end corporate rule only happens in Washington. But the truth is, the strongest pressure doesn’t start inside the Capitol—it starts outside of it, in communities where people decide they’re done watching corporations write the rules.

Affiliate & Advocate Spotlight: Building Power Everywhere

Movements are not built in a single place, nor do they advance through a single tactic. They grow because people, in communities large and small, decide to show up—again and again—and connect what’s happening where they live to a larger structural problem.

Across the country, Move to Amend affiliates are doing exactly that: organizing locally while keeping their eyes on the constitutional crisis at the root of corporate power.

Recent actions in Ohio, Alabama, and Minnesota — now at the center of national attention in the fight to reclaim self-government — reveal what it looks like when communities organize for systemic change.

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!
