We have great news!
There's an upcoming Congressional Briefing and a new Co-sponsor!
March 4 Congressional Briefing - invite your Rep to attend!
As we move into the election cycle, it is crucial that we build on the momentum you helped create, and we need your support to keep it going. A virtual Congressional briefing on the We the People Amendment, (HJR54) sponsored by the office of Representative Pramila Jayapal, our lead sponsor, is scheduled for March 4 at 2:30pm.
If your Congressperson has not co-sponsored the We the People Amendment, please invite a representative from their office to a virtual briefing sponsored by Representative Pramila Jayapal, our lead sponsor.
Rep. Jayapal will provide greetings and explain why she supports HJR54, to be followed by MTA representatives explaining the Amendment and answering questions.
This is an excellent opportunity for your representative to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of ending corporate rule and addressing the corruption caused by massive private money in elections.
You may use our One Click Politics software to contact your Representative's office by simply answering some basic questions - plus, we'll provide you with a script and email template to send to your representative.

New Co-Sponsor
