Move to Amend is a national, grassroots organization that works toward removing the influence of money in politics by calling for a constitutional amendment ending corporate personhood and declaring that money is not speech. The nonpartisan group was created in response to the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court ruling. The ruling utilized the legal concepts of corporate personhood and the equivocation of money and speech to overturn certain campaign finance restrictions on the grounds that they infringe on corporations' first amendment rights. Move to Amend considers corporate personhood and the consideration of money as speech to be illegitimate legal doctrines that disrupt the democratic process by granting disproportionate influence to the wealthy.[1]
Move to Amend was instrumental in getting the Los Angeles City Council to vote unanimously to end corporate personhood on December 6, 2011, though the vote was largely symbolic.[2]
