The “inflation” of Thanksgiving summarized below is not about the increased mass marketing hoopla that corporations create every holiday to make us think the more stuff we buy, the greater will be the enjoyment, if not “meaning,” of the day or season. Thanksgiving is actually a lousy holiday to commercialize. Afterall, there’s only so much profit to be gained from peddling Turkeys/Tofurkys, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce.

Nor are we focusing on the "inflation" of the giant Thanksgiving Day Parade floats that will wind their way through the streets of New York City.

The more significant Thanksgiving “inflation” is the inflated prices of consumer products, including food, which have skyrocketed. We can thank major food corporations for this.

As we navigate the shifting tides of congressional leadership and the looming threat of a government shutdown, it is crucial now more than ever to reinforce our commitment to a government of, by, and for the people.

In these uncertain times, we have an opportunity to make a lasting impact on our democracy by supporting H.J.R. 54, the We the People Amendment.

On many levels, we're facing a critical juncture that strikes at the heart of our society's values and the future of our planet.

Yet, amidst the turmoil, we must highlight the beacon of progress and determination. The movement of "We the People" continues to gather momentum and make strides in the corridors of power. As of November 3rd, 2023, Representative Dina Titus from Nevada's 1st Congressional District joined as the 72nd cosponsor of the crucial H.J.R. 54, The We the People Amendment.

Tomorrow is election day. Please vote if you already haven’t by mail or in person. 

But voting isn’t enough. We also need a People’s Movement like Move to Amend to abolish corporate rule, an essential step toward achieving legitimate democracy.

Electing better representatives at every level of government who represent the interests of voters rather than large donors is critical. That can be a challenge, especially when candidates swimming in campaign cash from the super rich and business corporations flood our airwaves, mailboxes and inboxes.

As we gear up for the End of the Year fundraising drive, we're reaching out to our incredible base of supporters with a special request: Do you have any artwork, collectibles, jewelry, services, kids and family items, travel & experiences, sports & activities, gourmet food & drink, arts, culture, entertainment, gift certificates, or other items that you'd be willing to donate to our online auction? 

This event will not only be a celebration of community spirit but a crucial part of our fundraising efforts to advance the passage of HJR 54, the We the People Amendment to End Corporate Rule and Legalize Democracy. Your contributions will play a pivotal role in helping us achieve our mission.

We have a critical issue to discuss, one that affects the very heart of our democracy and the future of our planet.

Move to Amend has always strived for more than simply reversing the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, ending the corruption of money from the rich and corporations spent in elections and passing the We the People Amendment that would abolish ALL corporate constitutional rights.

We believe even more structural changes are needed to achieve genuine self-determination for all people, everywhere. It’s why we’ve always been committed to anti-oppression within ourselves, communities, workplaces, policies, and representation, understanding that oppressed people lack the power to meet their needs and improve their communities.
