We are thrilled to share a recap of our recent national team trip to New York City, which was filled with impactful events and inspiring moments.

We want to express our heartfelt thanks to our Brooklyn affiliate group and their exceptional leader, Irene Lore, for their warm hospitality and outstanding leadership during our stay.

We're excited to share some incredible news with you: Move to Amend's national co-directors are currently in Washington, D.C., and we need your support now more than ever to pass the We the People Amendment, (H.J.R. 54).

Our first event, held in front of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, was a resounding success!

The National Move to Amend Coalition and Get Money Out Maryland is thrilled to extend an invitation to you for a series of inspiring and impactful events in the heart of our nation's capital. We are rallying together to expose and challenge the expanding power of corporations and the influence of big money in our political system.

Mark your calendars for September 19th and 20th, because something extraordinary is happening in Washington, DC.

A massive “March to End Fossil Fuels” is this Sunday in New York City. More than 700 organizations, including Move to Amend, have endorsed the event, prior to the United Nations Climate Ambition Summit. Mobilizations will occur around the world, part of a growing global escalation to end fossil fuels.

Advocating for the We the People Amendment: Seizing the August Opportunities for Change

It’s been a “summer of strikes.” Workers across the country are on the offense, demanding better working conditions, benefits and pay – and opposing artificial intelligence.

Current strikes include over 170,000 writers, actors and producers in Hollywood and across the country, thousands of food service workers in Las Vegas, thousands of city employees and thousands more of hotel workers in Los Angeles and nearly 2000 nurses in New Jersey. The strike of 340,000 workers at UPS yielded a tentative contract that is being voted on through next week.

In total, there’s been 233 labor actions in 352 locations in the U.S. since January 1, 84 in 141 locations since July 1.
