WE THE PEOPLE WEDNESDAY

The best time to overturn Citizens United was 16 years ago

The second best time is NOW

Today, January 21, 2026 marks the 16th anniversary of Citizens United v. FEC, the Supreme Court decision that applied corporate personhood to campaign contributions and opened the floodgates to a new era of corruption.

Many of the political crises we are facing today are the result of this decision being allowed to fester for 16 long years and a system where profit drives policy while public good is ignored.

From economic inequality to environmental harm to immigration enforcement, corporate influence distorts decision-making and leaves communities to bear the consequences.

This is exactly why the We the People Amendment (H.J.Res.54) is so critical. By overturning Citizens United, affirming that constitutional rights belong only to human beings, and allowing real limits on money in politics, this amendment addresses the root cause of so many interconnected injustices.

Here's some easy steps how YOU can make a difference.

You can take action right now using our OneClick Politics Tool to send an email to your local member of Congress

Step 1: Go to our OneClick Politics page

Step 2: Enter in your information to see your House Representative. You can check to see if they are a cosponsor HERE.

Step 3: If you scroll down you will see a text box for the body of the email, feel free to edit as you see fit but we have drafted two sample messages for you

If your Representative is NOT a cosponsor, please use Version 1 and delete Version 2 and the section headers for each

If your Representative IS a cosponsor, please use Version 2 and delete Version 1 and the section headers for each

Step 4: Proofread your email and send!

It takes less than two minutes, and every message helps build the momentum we need.

This is how we honor people harmed by systems built for profit.
By changing the rules that made those systems possible.
By putting people back at the center of our democracy.
