Amending the U.S. Constitution to abolish corporate constitutional rights and the legalized spending of big money in elections requires building a powerful grassroots movement. Not all approaches to reaching out to people and decision-makers are equally effective.
Advocating, mobilizing and organizing are three different approaches.
The Labor Movement has been building power to improve the immediate real world conditions of working people and to create fundamental social change for generations.
