Two hundred and fifty years ago, people had the courage to say enough.
They didn’t politely ask an empire for reform. They didn’t wait for permission. They took direct action against concentrated corporate power and declared independence from a system that extracted wealth while denying self-government. The Boston Tea Party wasn’t just rebellion... it was resistance to corporate rule.
Today, we are living under a new empire.
Our unalienable rights are being stripped away in real time - not by monarchs or wannabe kings, but by corporations empowered through courts. Through judicial fiat, corporations have been granted constitutional rights they were never meant to have. These fabricated rights now serve as armor - shielding corporations from accountability while allowing them to dominate elections, write policy, poison communities, and extract wealth with impunity.
Meanwhile, We the People are told to accept shrinking freedoms.
Voting rights are under attack. Political equality is a myth when money determines whose voices are heard. The promise of democracy is hollow when artificial entities wield more power than living, breathing human beings.
We are conditioned to focus only on the latest crisis—and there are many. Climate catastrophe. Authoritarianism. Economic violence. Attacks on bodily autonomy. That work is necessary and urgent.
But if we only chase crises while leaving the underlying system intact, we guarantee more injustice, more erosion, more suffering.
That’s why Move to Amend exists.
Move to Amend is not tinkering around the edges. We are confronting the root cause: a legal system that elevates corporate power over human rights. By advancing the We the People Amendment, we are working to end the lie that corporations are people and that money is speech - lies that have distorted the facade of democracy beyond recognition.
This fight is inseparable from the promise of the 15th Amendment (ratified on this day- Feb. 3, 1870). A right to vote that can be overwhelmed by corporate money is not a real right. When elections are bought, votes are diluted. When corporate “speech” drowns out human voices, political equality is destroyed. Ending corporate constitutional rights is essential to fulfilling the 15th Amendment’s guarantee that democracy belongs to all of us.
This is not a theoretical moment. This is an emergency.
Move to Amend’s constitutional amendment strategy is not about asking power to restrain itself. It is about building the organized will and capacity of the people to rewrite the rules that govern us.
That’s why we are calling you to action.
Join us for No Kings #3—a national action to reject rule by corporations and the wealthy few, and to assert our collective authority to govern ourselves. No Kings is about refusing modern-day monarchy—whether it comes wrapped in a crown or disguised as corporate “rights.”

- Try to speak at the event to remind folks how we got here and to raise up the WTPA as a systemic solution to ending corporate rule
- Collect signatures on our paper petition (download copies here).
Just as people once gathered to challenge empire, we are gathering now to declare:
No kings. No corporate rulers. No more stolen democracy.
The question before us is the same as it was 250 years ago:
Who governs this country?
Corporations... or the people?
History is calling again. Independence is not something we inherit. It is something we must reclaim -together.
Join us at No Kings #3 and help declare independence from corporate rule once and for all.
In solidarity and fierce determination,
Alfonso, Jessica, Jason, Tara, Cole, Shelly, George, Daniel, Kelsey, Jennie, Keyan, Greg and Katie
