Our democracy belongs to the people, not to billionaires, corporate lobbyists, and Wall Street conglomerates. Decades of unchecked corporate power have eroded the social safety net, suppressed wages, and rigged our tax and legal systems in favor of a wealthy oligarchy.
People Demanding Action is dedicated to dismantling the system of legal bribery that allows big business to buy elections and dictate policy. We are building a powerful movement to restore power to working-class citizens, break up monopolies, and ensure our government answers to the voters, not corporate PACs.
Pass a Federal Constitutional Amendment declaring that money is not speech and corporations are not people, restoring the authority of Congress and state legislatures to strictly regulate and limit campaign spending
Establish small-dollar public matching systems for federal and state elections to elevate the voices of everyday citizens and eliminate reliance on wealthy donors and corporate Political Action Committees (PACs).
Require full, immediate disclosure of all political contributions and ban corporate PACs, non-profit "dark money" pass-through groups, and super PACs from funding elections or ballot initiatives.
Reclaim power generation from investor-owned utilities (IOUs) that prioritize shareholder dividends over grid reliability and affordability. Establish public energy utilities to guarantee affordable, democratic control over clean power.
Ensure full pension guarantees, wage protection, retraining programs, and priority hiring in green infrastructure for workers and communities affected by the transition away from fossil fuels.
