Our goal is to help build a popular movement to support passage of a constitutional amendment that reinstates the primacy of human rights over corporate rights. We work to: inform people of the need to abolish corporate persons; encourage and assist citizen-driven efforts to pass ordinances; and coalesce these efforts into passing state laws to trigger a national movement for a constitutional amendment.

"This amendment affirms that constitutional rights extend only to human persons. Corporations, partnerships, and other organizational entities are not human persons and, therefore, are not entitled to constitutional protections."
