4 Mission 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.
5 Goals Pass the We the People Amendment to make clear that artificial entities do not have Constitutional rights and that money is not speech. Provoke discussion and organizing about how to make real the promise of American democracy through Constitutional renewal.
6 Our Principles & Values 1. Anti-Oppression and Solidarity Organizing 2. Coalition and Movement Building 3. Grassroots Organizing 4. Dedication to Political Education 5. Political and Economic Independence
7 Amending the Constitution Congress 2/3 of both houses (House and Senate) must pass amendment resolution 3/4 of states must ratify (38 states) Constitutional Convention 2/3 of state legislatures call for a Convention to propose amendment (34 states) 3/4 of states must ratify (38 states)
8 Strategy Primary target is American people at this time (not Congress) to build a movement for power Coalition building reaching out to other organizations working on issues affected by corporate power Building a broad and diverse, multi-racial & inter-generational movement reaching out to those most affected by corporate rule Community organizing, not just activism Focus on grassroots organizing to pass local and state resolutions calling for amendment
