Local Organizing to Build a National Movement
Thank you for your interest in working locally towards this important goal, and welcome to the Move to Amend movement!
Amending the U.S. Constitution is a long-term campaign that will require the participation of groups across the country to be successful. To successfully amend the Constitution will require the support of millions of people. Large corporations will resist our efforts, but the good news is that most Americans are with us! When Americans have been asked if they believe corporations should have the same rights as people, nearly 80% stated they believe the Constitution should be amended to state that corporations do not have constitutional rights.
It is our collective job to reach out to everyday Americans and engage them with Move to Amend. The toolkit below provides a number of helpful resources and creative tools to help you do just that. We invite you to use the suggestions and materials provided in this toolkit to adapt them to your local needs.
