Jennie Spanos, Co-Director

Jennie Spanos (she/her) is a Co-Director of Move to Amend.

She believes in democracy like it’s a living, breathing thing — something you nurture with your hands, protect with your voice, and pass down like an heirloom. She works every day to help build a real democracy rooted in justice, community power, and freedom from corporate rule.

Her journey here wasn’t a straight path — more like a winding road paved with grit, determination, and deep love for people and the planet. Growing up as a military brat, she learned early how to find her footing wherever she landed. As a single mom, she juggled jobs working on new construction sites, at the docks as a stevedore, and producing a real estate radio show — all while putting herself through school.

Journalism gave her a front-row seat to the ways corporate power strangles our democracy, our communities, and our futures. But witnessing injustice wasn’t enough—she had to act. So she stepped beyond the newsroom and into the streets, organizing shoulder-to-shoulder with movements fighting for environmental, economic, peace, and social justice—because all of these struggles are interconnected, and all are necessary for true democracy.

Now a full-time organizer and pro-democracy leader, she weaves together movements for environmental, economic, peace and social justice — knowing they are all connected, all part of the same visions for dignity and liberation. She still lives a bit like a tumbleweed, traveling, making memories and finding joy in time spent with her people, tending to the earth, hiking wild trails, and soaking in natural springs that remind her what we’re all working to protect.

Because democracy isn’t something you inherit. It’s something you build. Together.

Katie Krasinski, Co-Director

Katie Krasinski is a Co-Director for Move to Amend. Her journey of fighting corporate greed began during the BP oil spill which ravaged her hometown and impacted her family's livelihood and health. Shortly afterwards, she joined Occupy Pensacola (the longest running encampment in the nation) where she was inspired by the hundreds of activists communing together on public land to address the many different grievances brought on by corporate control of our democracy. This awesome experience changed the trajectory of her life and gave her tremendous hope that systemic change could be made.

Katie studied Fine Arts at University of West Florida and Florida State University. And taught middle school for the Department of Defense Dependents School in Mannheim Germany. After returning from Europe, she opened an Art Studio/Cafe to support and homeschool her legally blind adopted son. During this time, she used her space to host and fundraise for her community. Some of her favorite projects during these years were hosting free summer camps for children in foster care and giving art classes to special needs adults and their caregivers.

Katie currently lives in a multigenerational 120-year-old Queen Anne Victorian with her mother (75), son (30), niece (23), nephew (15) and great nephew (3). She enjoys renovating her historic home, swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, creating art and cross-country adventures with family.
