Move to Amend is a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization that seeks to blunt corporate power by amending the United States Constitution to end corporate personhood and state that money is not speech.[1] The group was created in response to the 2010 Supreme Court ruling Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which held that corporations have a First Amendment right to make expenditures from their general treasuries supporting or opposing candidates for political office, arguing that the Court's decision disrupts the democratic process by granting disproportionate influence to the wealthy.[2] Move to Amend advocates for the "We the People" Amendment, currently in Congress as {{USBill|116|H.J.Res.|54}}, to establish that constitutional rights are reserved for natural persons only and require the regulation and disclosure of spending in U.S. elections.[3]
