Ever since the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United v. FEC decision, which gave corporations the free speech rights of individuals and opened the door to unlimited corporate spending to influence elections, our democracy has been undermined by the wave of special interest money in our elections. This is a terrible system of campaign finance that has allowed the rich and powerful to buy our elections.

In 2022, a handful of billionaires pumped over $1 billion into the election, largely to elect far-right candidates. That's nearly 75% higher than the previous midterm campaign and 300 times more than billionaires spent just prior to the disastrous Citizens United decision. Groups like Big Pharma, the fossil fuel industry, and other corporate interests also spend unlimited amounts of money to swing elections, undermining the voice and vote of everyday Americans and further eroding trust in government.

Elections impact everything that touches our daily lives: Freedom from gun violence, freedom to choose how, when, and with whom to build a family, freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water, and more. We cannot allow ultra-wealthy individuals, corporations and special interests to buy access and influence. We MUST build a democracy where everyone plays by the same set of rules and everyone, no matter how wealthy, can make their voices heard.

Sign the petition to Congress: We need a democracy where all voices can be heard. Overturn Citizens United now!
