Bold = Founding Organization

Home | News | Events

PURPOSE:

Each Move to Amend Affiliate has or will adopt an Outreach Plan as required by the National Team.  In order to maintain focus on the objectives of these plans it is important to prioritize the many requests affiliate members get from other organizations working on important issues.  This policy will ground our responses to those requests in our Outreach Plans and the values we hold as the Move to Amend Coalition.

FIRST STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE OF MOVE TO AMEND:   Engage other social, economic, and environmental justice movement organizations to see passage of the We the People Amendment as a strategic priority by making connections between their missions and corporate rule and by fostering anti-oppression literacy within Move to Amend to effectively build solidarity with organizations working in highly impacted and marginalized communities.
 

CAPACITY:

Given that affiliates have limited capacity, it is important that volunteers are engaged in activities that help meet the First Strategic Objective. Capacity is limited by the number of volunteers and the amount of time volunteers can commit to Move to Amend. 
 

EVALUATION FOR ENGAGEMENT:

This policy has been adopted to guide affiliates when other organizations request that the affiliate engage with them in various ways. Level One organizations are the highest priority for local affiliate support and resources. 

With surplus affiliate resources and volunteer capacity, move through Level Two to Level Four.

PRIORITY LEVEL ONE

1. Is this organization working on one of your top three issues in your Solidarity Outreach Plan?
2. Is there more than one organization working on this issue?
3. Is this organization led by women, people of color, young people, or other marginalized communities or groups?
4. Is this a “leading” organization in this issue (ie, getting the most done compared with other organizations)?

PRIORITY LEVEL TWO

1. Has this organization adopted the Move to Amend resolution?
2. Has this organization only signed on as an Endorsing Organization?

PRIORITY LEVEL THREE

1. Is this organization working on issues of corporate power and/or money in politics?
2. Is this organization supporting campaign finance reform legislation locally or statewide (ie, campaign spending limits, public disclosure laws, lobby restrictions, etc)?
3. Does this organization use messaging similar to Move to Amend (ie, “corporations are not people” or “end corporate rule”)?

PRIORITY LEVEL FOUR

1. Are members/volunteers from this organization also Active Volunteers for Move to Amend?  (Example: Jane is on the board of the church she belongs to and they are working on $15/hour minimum wages.)
    

DECIDING HOW TO ENGAGE:

The decision to engage with an organization must be reached by consensus in alignment with Move to Amend’s Core Principles and Values. To engage with a local organization, the core leaders within a local Affiliate must agree. To engage with a statewide organization, each affiliate within a State Network must agree. Any affiliates without a State Network should consult with National before engaging with statewide organizations. 
NOTE: Engagement with national organizations by MTA Affiliates must be approved by MTA National.
 

WAYS TO BECOME ENGAGED:

In addition to the activities listed in your Outreach Plan, each affiliate may offer the following actions to...

1. If asked, add their affiliate's name to the work of the organization as a cosponsor, endorser, partner, ally, or other title they prefer.
2. Promote rallies, marches, direct action events, fundraising events and meetings of the organization using their affiliate's resources.
   NOTE: With regards to promoting fundraising events, we are trusting your judgement as affiliate leaders to make this determination on a case by case basis. Given our own struggles with fundraising and some organization's affiliations with political parties, please use caution in any investment of affiliate resources, including your funds, to promote another organization's fundraising events.
3. Request volunteer help on behalf of the organization.
4. Endorse their local or statewide initiatives/legislation, which could include attendance and/or testimony at public hearings (be sure to give National notice when you endorse other legislation). NOTE: Endorsements of national initiatives/legislation by MTA Affiliates must be approved by MTA National.
5. Write talking points, position papers, and other literature that connect the power of corporations to block progress on the organization’s issue.
6. Invite leaders of the organization to speak or present to your affiliate members or public events.
    

EXCEPTIONS:

The following organizations are considered exceptions to the Solidarity Engagement Policy. They include organizational and legislative types we can support freely and ones we should not support for any reason.  

1. PRIORITY LEVEL TWO: Organizations working on initiatives/legislation advancing or protecting Human Rights (Example: Medicare for All, Equal Rights for women/People of Color/LGBTQ+/Immigrants/etc, livable wages, free school/college tuition).  
2. PRIORITY LEVEL TWO: Organizations work on initiatives/legislation advancing or protecting Rights of Nature (Example: Lake Erie Personhood Rights).
3. PRIORITY LEVEL THREE: Organizations working on initiatives/legislation advancing or protecting participatory democracy (Example: universal voting rights, automatic voter registration, ranked choice voting).
4. DO NOT SUPPORT: Organizations opposed to the We the People Amendment or working against it.
5. DO NOT SUPPORT: Organizations working to expand or protect corporate constitutional rights and/or money equals speech.
6. DO NOT SUPPORT: Organizations associated with and/or “willing to work with” known extremists, hate groups or ideologies identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center. (Examples: American Freedom Party, Council for Conservative Citizens, etc).
