About Us

Kansas City Move to Amend is a nonpartisan association of Americans who were moved to take action against the Supreme Court's disastrous ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Corporations may now spend unlimited amounts of their vast resources to campaign for or against candidates running for office. The threat to our democracy is real.
The ruling was largely based on two absurd precedents:
that a corporation is a person and that money is equivalent to speech.
Democracy means that the People rule. But if corporations are free to hijack elections by tapping into their colossal treasuries to influence elections, democracy is impossible.
We, of KC Move To Amend, aspire to amend the US Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
Our focus is on local grassroots action in the Kansas City region. We have joined forces with citizens across the nation by affiliating with Move To Amend.org
This 8-minute animated video, The Story of Citizens United,
provides a clear overview of the effect of the Citizens United ruling on our democracy.
