I am active in this movement. This was in my email today.
From June 28 through July 4, Move to Amend volunteers and allies from across the country will join organizers in the nation’s capital for Seven Days in D.C. — a week of lobbying, public demonstrations, voter outreach, trainings, and cultural events designed to turn frustration into action. And we’re going to Washington with a clear mission: to win more Congressional support for the We the People Amendment. The We the People Amendment (H.J.Res. 54) would do two simple but transformative things:Make clear that constitutional rights belong to human beings only. End the doctrine that money spent to influence elections is protected speech. In other words, it would strike at the root of corporate rule.
Join us in DC: RSVP Here. Momentum Is Growing. Support for the amendment continues to build. We currently have more than 150 candidates who have taken the Pledge. Just recently, 84 candidates affiliated with Courage for Democracy, joined in publicly endorsing the We the People Amendment and pledged to use their office to help pass it if elected.

Help Us Open Doors Before We Arrive in D.C.The most effective lobbying meetings happen when congressional offices hear from their own constituents before we walk through the door. That’s where you come in. Using our One Click Politics tool, you can call your U.S. Representative in just a few minutes and: Urge them to cosponsor H.J.Res. 54Request a meeting with Move to Amend volunteers during our June 28–July 4 lobbying week. Put the We the People Amendment on their radar
Not in Washington? You Can Still Be Part of the Push. Whether you’re joining us in D.C. or supporting from home, your voice matters. Every phone call, every email, and every constituent meeting request helps demonstrate that support for the We the People Amendment is real, organized, and growing. And after our meetings are over, we’ll need your help to follow up and keep the pressure on until more members of Congress sign on.
Hold Candidates Accountable, TooAsk candidates to sign the Pledge to AmendWhile we work to win more cosponsors in Congress, we’re also building support from the ground up by asking candidates at every level of government to sign the Pledge to Amend. The momentum is real. In recent weeks, dozens of candidates across the country have signed the pledge, including 84 candidates affiliated with Courage for Democracy. These candidates have committed that, if elected, they will use their office to support the We the People Amendment and help end the corrupting influence of big money in politics. Your local candidates should be next. Whether they are running for city council, school board, state legislature, or Congress, every candidate should answer a simple question: Will you stand with the people, or with the corporations and billionaires who dominate our political system? Take a few minutes to reach out to the candidates in your community and ask them to sign the Pledge to Amend today: Have Your Candidates Sign the Pledge to Amend? The more candidates who take the pledge, the more we build a future where no one can claim to represent the people while remaining silent about corporate rule.
Our Spring Match Campaign has been EXTENDED — because this moment is simply too important. Thanks to the incredible response from grassroots supporters across the country, we’ve secured additional matching funds to keep the momentum going. That means every donation made right now will still be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar to help grow the movement to end corporate rule and build a democracy accountable to people, communities, and the natural world.
