On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are people; corporations are legal fictions.
We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United and other related cases, and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
The Supreme Court is misguided in principle, and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule.
". . . corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their 'personhood' often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves members of “We the People” by whom and for whom our Constitution was established."
~Supreme Court Justice Stevens, January 2010

Become a Move to Amend Volunteer!
Every day, corporate influence tightens its grip—drowning out the voices of everyday people and shaping policies that put profits over our communities, our environment, and our future. From poisoned water to skyrocketing healthcare costs, from environmental devastation to economic inequality, the consequences are clear: corporate power is undermining our democracy.
The We the People Amendment (H.J.Res 54) is the solution.
Thank you for expressing interest in volunteering with Move to Amend, where you can make a real difference.
Join us to learn and ask questions about specific ways you can contribute your time, energy, and skills to further the growing movement to abolish big money in elections and corporate rule, both in your community and on our national projects.
We are excited to welcome you on this journey to create justice, peace, and a livable world.

Across the country, Move to Amend affiliates and volunteers continue to do the kind of work that rarely makes headlines—but is essential to building a movement capable of lasting change. It’s happening in community meetings, at public hearings, in conversations with neighbors, and in the steady expansion of a coalition that understands the root of the problem.
Thank you again for being part of No Kings Day 3.
Across the country — in big cities and small towns alike — people stepped into the streets, into public squares, into community spaces… and into something bigger than themselves.
Strangers became allies.
Conversations turned into clarity.
And a shared feeling rippled through it all:
We are not alone — and we are not powerless.
Now the question is: how do we turn that moment into momentum?
March is Women’s Month — a time to celebrate the people who’ve worked for generations to bring us closer to true equality. So first, a huge shout-out to our friends and allies with the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) Coalition, who are still leading the way to making equal rights a real part of our Constitution.
Here’s something that might surprise you: women still don’t have guaranteed equal rights under the Constitution. And you’re not alone if that’s news — 76% of people in the U.S. think we already do, and 97% agree we should.
The ERA (the 28th Amendment) was first approved by Congress in 1972 and needed 38 states to ratify it. It took longer than expected, but thanks to Nevada (2017), Illinois (2018), and Virginia (2020), that 38-state milestone has finally been reached. Now, we just need Congress to stop dragging their feet and remove an outdated deadline so equality can officially become the law of the land.

Move to Amend is a coalition of hundreds of organizations and hundreds of thousands of individuals committed to social and economic justice, ending corporate rule, and building a vibrant democracy that is genuinely accountable to the people, not corporate interests. We call for an amendment to the US Constitution to unequivocally state that inalienable rights belong to human beings only, and that money is not a form of protected free speech under the First Amendment and can be regulated in political campaigns.
