We are drafting a comprehensive constitutional amendment to address the structural capture of our political system by concentrated wealth and power. The items below describe what the amendment will do if adopted. This work is ongoing, and if there are additional structural reforms you believe it should address, we invite you to share them.
Affirms, protects, and expands the right to vote, and ensures that every vote carries equal weight. One person, one vote.
Removes all private money from political campaigns and elections, ensuring public office is accountable to voters rather than donors.
Places strict limits on lobbying and revolving-door influence to prevent private interests from writing public policy.
Prohibits partisan gerrymandering of electoral districts by requiring fair, independent redistricting that reflects the will of voters.
Clarifies that constitutional rights belong to natural persons, not corporations, and places firm limits on corporate political power.
Establishes ranked choice voting to ensure majority support, allow voters to express their true preferences without fear of a "spoiling" vote, and allow independent candidates to compete fairly.
Establishes a national popular vote for President and Vice President so every vote carries equal weight, regardless of where it is cast.
Requires full financial disclosure by elected officials to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure accountability to the public, and prohibits private trading of securities by elected officials.
Establishes transparency and accountability standards for political media and advertising to protect the public from coordinated deception.
Establishes safeguards against coordinated digital manipulation and covert interference in elections to protect free and fair elections.
Establishes independent enforcement mechanisms to ensure constitutional rules are followed and violations carry meaningful consequences.
Establishes reasonable, conditional term limits for elected offices and judicial appointments to prevent the concentration of power and promote democratic renewal.
Guarantees the uninterrupted functioning of government to protect workers, services, and the public interest.
Establishes a formal, state-initiated process for proposing constitutional amendments independent of Congress, adding a direct constitutional pathway for structural reform.
Affirms and protects the essential rights necessary to secure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and to promote the general welfare in a modern society.
Prevents extreme concentrations of economic power that distort markets, suppress competition, and limit innovation and broad economic opportunity.
Ensures access to robust civic education so citizens understand their rights, responsibilities, and how a government of, by, and for the people is meant to function.
Affirms equal citizenship under the law and protects the civil rights necessary for full participation in the political process.
Affirms America's commitment to peace over conflict and reasserts constitutional limits on war-making authority and strengthens the people’s oversight, through Congress, of decisions to use military force.
