For the love of democracy, for the love of community, for the love of our shared future—we must act.
Representative Pramila Jayapal introduced the We the People Amendment (HJR54) into the 119th Congress on Wednesday with 28 original cosponsors, a bold step toward ending corporate constitutional rights i.e. corporate personhood and the corrupt notion that money in elections equals free speech. This amendment is a call to reclaim democracy, ensuring that our government serves the people—not corporations and wealthy elites.
At its core, this is about agapē—a deep, unconditional love for humanity. A love that compels us to protect one another, to ensure our government prioritizes public health, safety, and welfare of WE the people over corporate profits and personal gain. As corruption infiltrates our institutions, trust erodes, communities suffer, and the most vulnerable among us—bear the brunt.
We are at a crossroads. Will we continue to allow the insane notion that a corporation is a person entitled to constitutional rights and its money is a form of free speech that has rolled out the welcome mat for leaders to prioritize corporate- and self-interest and vengeance over the common good, leaving us vulnerable to divisive policies, economic instability, environmental collapse, and other preventable crises? Or will we demand real democracy that is genuinely accountable to the people, not corporate interests? The future is ours to shape, but only if we take action now.
History warns us that fascism does not arrive with fanfare—it creeps in through apathy and the silence of those who choose inaction. We must not be those people. The We the People Amendment is a fire prevention measure; if we do not act, we will continue fighting an endless blaze of crises caused by greed-driven governance.
Systemic problems require systemic solutions and that is why we need your voice to build the grassroots power necessary to pass this amendment.
Take action today. Use our OneClick program to urge your representative to co-sponsor HJR54. This is our moment to stand for a democracy that is truly of, by, and for the people.
With love, hope and determination,
