Blue words saying Help Us Topple Corporate Rule! against the Constitution in the background

Saturday, April 7, 9:30am-3:30pm [registration begins at 9am], First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd.

A statewide gathering of local chapters of the national Move to Amend organization that is calling for a U.S. Constitutional amendment to reverse several U.S. Supreme Court decisions during the past century and thereby to firmly establish that corporations are not people and that money is not free speech.

“We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling and other related cases and move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.”

This event will also include workshops, action planning, a “People’s Assembly,” and reports on work across the state during the past twelve months.

• Keynote Speaker: Mary Jo Kilroy [former U.S. Representative, Franklin County Commissioner, and Columbus School Board member] on “What a True Representative Democracy Looks Like”

• Report from national Move to Amend: Jessica Munger, Program Director, on national movement-building projects and campaigns

• People’s Assembly to democratically decide projects for the coming year

• Take Action workshops

• Closing address by nationally known fair elections activist, author, and political candidate Bob Fitrakis
