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.

Solidarity with Organized Workers on Labor Day
The uprising of organized labor over the past year has yielded several impressive victories that have improved the lives of workers. Hollywood writers and actors, UPS workers and United Auto Workers at the Big 3 automakers all won significant concessions. Organized workers continue to be active with 182 labor actions having taken place in 242 locations so far in 2024.
Candidates Fighting Corporate Power
At Move to Amend, we are dedicated to ensuring that corporations and other artificial entities do not hold Constitutional rights, and that campaign spending can be regulated to limit the influence of money in politics. Our Pledge to Amend campaign seeks commitments from candidates for public office to support these crucial goals.
WTPW July 24, 2024
As part of our ongoing We the People Wednesdays campaign, we are calling on all our supporters to join us in a vital effort to build political will for H.J.R. 54, the We the People Amendment - which seeks to firmly establish that only human beings, not corporations, are endowed with constitutional rights, and that money is not equivalent to free speech.
In short, this amendment aims to reclaim our government from the undue influence of corporate power and big money in politics, ensuring that it represents the interests of the people!
Every Wednesday, we invite you to take a few minutes to call your Representatives and urge them to support this crucial amendment. Your voice is powerful, and with our One Click Politics software, connecting with your congressperson is easier than ever. Simply input your zip code and phone number, and you'll be connected directly to your Representative’s office.

Our “democracy” isn’t aging well
There are growing problems with what we call our democratic republic. They go far beyond the concerns of a majority of voters over the mental and physical “fitness” of the aging Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

We've never had an authentic democracy or democratic republic since the founding of our nation. However, our institutional democracy has become increasingly deaf, blind, forgetful, confused and immobile.
Read moreNobody is coming to save us
The political landscape is shifting rapidly. Just last month, the Presidential debate dominated headlines, but recent events have shifted our focus to more urgent issues. This email was originally about last month's Presidential debate in Atlanta, but so much has happened in our political circus since then that it seems irrelevant to the current conversations taking place. However, the intended message remains the same: this election and these recent Supreme Court decisions have laid bare to the average voter the sorry state our so-called democracy finds itself in.
It has become clear that no part of our duopoly, whether Republican or Democrat, is coming to save us from the menace of political corruption and capitalist profiteering. And so, we must come to save ourselves.
