Over 2000 Move to Amend supporters like you called or emailed Congressional offices around the 15th Anniversary of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision urging them to become an original co-sponsor of the We the People Amendment.
The initiative, calling for ending “corporate personhood” and “money spent in elections equals free speech," will be introduced in the next month Rep. Pramila Jayapal. Another 19 Congressional offices were personally visited by MTA supporters – in many cases during extreme weather conditions.
The calls, emails and visits could not be more timely as we are witnessing in real time the beginnings of the returns billionaires and corporations are receiving for their political investments to the Trump campaign – everything from cabinet and ambassador appointments to efforts to gut government regulatory protections that protect our health, safety and environment.
Your involvement in pushing for systemic change is all the more important at the same time that we help resist the daily threats to peoples and communities. Only systemic change like the We the People Amendment solves systemic political and economic problems that we face.

Besides lobbying Congresspersons, we also spread the word about our efforts in the media, including:
- VOICES: On 15th anniversary of Citizens United, we must push back against unchecked power of corporations
- Trump’s TikTok ban on democracy
- It’s not enough to reverse Citizens United. A constitutional amendment is needed
- Greg Coleridge on the Movement to Abolish Corporate Personhood
Thanks to all for our collective flexing of our democratic muscles to create authentic democracy by ending corporate rule and the corrupting influence of billionaire money in elections.
Onwards and upwards!
